Hi Team,

I have a 8GB nVidia 2070, memory in OR is shown as 4GB.

>Video = NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 (4.0 GB RAM) (nvlddmkm 31.0.15.3598)

From the OR log.

Derek !

I use a 1080 TI with 11gb and get the same 4gb in the log . Maybe that's the highest it reports - - ?

I'm just guess here, but the limit on the 32bit system is 4gb have you tried running it in 64bit mode?

I have always run in 64 bit mode.

I expect there is some 32 bit code hiding somewhere.

There's another post about this and I answered ( to the best of my knowledge TTBOMK? anyone ) that OR only displays the maximum memory it can use, no matter how much is available, thus the highest anyone will see displayed is 4gb

I also found that - I only run 64 and even with everything in options at Max and a densely populated route , it doesn't go over . If the GPU still keeps up , then you have good FPS also .  

Run " GPUZ" at the same time and you can see the memory usage etc . .
