Whats the point in eating up all VRAM? Any visual differences? Any differences in frametimes?
Or just filling up empty space?

I played the game in Beta last weekend for two days, and I covered all content in the Beta - on Radeon R380 4GB on High, 1080p, apparently in DX11 - it runs smooth, didn't experience any glitches or crashes, and it is actually pretty good game. I think game mechanics are refined from the previous title, but can't recall examples right now. CPU is i5-9600k non-overclocked, RAM is XMP 3400 MHz, temps are all normal around 10 degree above ambient for hours on air cooler...
If anybody has problems - it might be from overclocks, RAM, and surely 4GB VRAM is today's minimum, older NVidia GPUs with 3GB just don't cut it.

1660 slower than 590 and 1660ti slower than 1070. Great showing for new gtx turing cards.

Overall game runs good on a decent hardware it seems.
That about sums it up. I thought that the 1660ti would handily beat the 590 in this title.

Just fill up all the video cards things...because that's what memory is for amiright? /s

I find the Radeon VII VRAM usage weirdly high. Maybe some of it is just buffered/cached but if it isn't, I imagine that's hindering its performance.

HH mentioned how performance is uneffected with high vram usage and gameplay is smoorth.

I would argue its even smoother than other cards not slower.
