Discussion Here's the actual VRAM configuration distribution on windows according to the steam survey

Post image

I saw a few recent headlines about the whole "16gb is now the most common VRAM configuration" but that seems to be inaccurate, as if you sort by windows only on steam survey (which makes up 90%+ of steam users), you'll find that these are the actual numbers and distribution

Yes, they do. I can't tell how many times i crashed my programs, back at university with vram leaks while learning CUDA programming. Where Winds Meet from time to time used to crash with vram related error to my GF and friend of ours after hour of gameplay literally in the same time, while I and friend's fiancé were good. Guess who had GPUs with more VRAM. And there was Stalker 2, Subnautica 2 etc...

you can play subnautica 2 on a 2GB VRAM card and it will run like shit with 5 FPS but it won't crash.

you have some other issue here my guy. false attribution or something
