I've been playing Borderlands 3 of late since it came with my 3800X. Unfortunately I've come to realize that when the GPU RAM is no longer in use it's not emptied! So when I load the game without restarting my desktop I'll get a lot of crashes, some of which reference RAM. At first I thought it was because my card was old...but it's the damn software!
I already have to babysit hard drives by disabling the page file (which should not even exist) and the RAM via RAMMap so what utility will let me kill off lazy RAM usage in my 290X? After rebooting last night I was at a very low level and had no issues until I intentionally shut the game down. Having not rebooted since that point my 290X has 2.2GB of RAM in use. I'm on driver release 2.0.13 and will reboot before I game tonight for the driver update as someone will obviously inquire about drivers.
