My setups have been outputting to triple monitor in surround, Ultra-wides and most recently a big 4K and I tend to play with pretty high settings using top-end cards of each generation. No no I get what your aiming for and I'm saying there's something very wrong with your setup if its not naturally consuming more VRAM. I'd thought there could be some option or command line parameter on launch. Anyway, I don't know your setup, but I'm using 4 screens and having some programs open, including Firefox, I barely reach the 200 MB mark.

Turning that off freed up a decent amount for games instead without too much of a user experience change while browsing. By the way one way something I'd noticed a long time ago: If you leave a browser like firefox open in the background and its got hardware acceleration on by default it'll eat 0.5-1GB of VRAM too. Highest I remember is about 9GB worth but typically its closer to 7-8GB. Well I'm not sure what to say, I've been playing it for years on a variety of cards and Ark consumes far more then 1-1.5GB of VRAM on them. If it could make use of the remaining 6 GB then it could've be much more performant, or I could have better graphics settings. In earlier times, ARK used up as much VRAM as it could get, but now it's barely over 2 GB (ironically, I've bought an 8 GB card because 3 GB weren't enough.). GPU-Z is accurate & working anyway, never had problems with it showing me anything incorrect. MSI's Afterburner has issues I can't deal with, I've tried it once.
