New Mod for Cyberpunk 2077: Optimizes RAM buffer pools
The raytracing effects in the game look pretty cool, the game performance overall however remains to be a mystery. In that mindset a mod has been released, as it turns out, the PC version of the game has the same CPU and GPU memory pool as on the console.
With the "RAM Pool Optimizer" developer Darktear presents a free mod for Cyberpunk 2077 that will remove the limits of the game in terms of RAM and VRAM. The current and next-gen game consoles are currently responsible for the action game's limited memory usage. The developer provides numerous preconfigured versions of his tool, which range from configurations with 8 GB RAM and 1 GB VRAM to 64 GB RAM and 24 GB VRAM and thus also "high-end" graphics accelerators such as the GeForce RTX 3090 can be re-configured better matching your PC specs.
Seems the CPU and GPU pool is right from the Consoles, yet most PC have way more RAM. Try this, it can improve performance.
Darktear, RAM pool optimizer
A configurable version is available, which gives experienced users the opportunity to make appropriate settings themselves and to adapt them individually to the main memory and the graphics card of their own system.
- The mod is simple to apply" Download, (requires a free user account).
- Then the modified file "memory_pool_budgets.csv" only needs to be copied into the folder "cyberpunk 2077 \ engine \ config" and the original file replaced.
- Making a backup of the original file is recommended.
It has to be stated that many people already tried this mod, however with little performance increases.

Well, this is bad if the mod community is "fixing" a game like CP2077 with a mod in order to increase or help with better performance...
I mean it's not like the game has not been delayed a couple of times before, and yet we see a disappointing performance. Still, they did crazy advertising about this game and we ended up in a mixed opinion performance-wise.

I tried it but didn't see any difference or at least I did not notice any performance gains. The game still felt the same as before with it.

Why can't we get a play ready game at release anymore?? Is that too much to ask?
All these fix and 3rd party solutions should not be necessary to play a game reasonably well.

This mod seems to be quite polarizing. Many are commenting it does absolutely nothing and is a placebo. And many others swear by it.
It's worth reading peoples comments on https://www.nexusmods.com/cyberpunk2077/mods/208?tab=posts
It's not going to help if your RAM usage isn't a bottleneck. If the CPU or GPU are under a heavy enough load then any assets that need to be replaced in RAM isn't going to result in a noticeable performance drop.

That's why I haven't bought a new game in maybe a decade. You pay a higher premium for a buggy incomplete game, poorly-optimized drivers, and (if multiplayer) unstable servers. By the time the game goes on sale, it's cheaper, playable, and can work better on crappier GPUs.

sigh just go into your cyber punk folder, click engine folder, then config folder....open memory pool budgets with note pad (not word pad)..
change PoolCPU to what your sytstem is that you want under PC make sure gigabyte is GB
change PoolGPU to what your gpu has on it again make sure you use GB
i set mine to 8 for cpu and 8 on my gpu and it actually helped
What did it help you? What CPU you have? I have RTX 3080 as you can see but installed with a very old CPU like 4790K @ 4.8Ghz, 4-core. I don't know if I can get a an AMD ryzen 9 5900x due to low stock these days but would like to know what performance gains you got? Is it with RTX ON ? or without? Is it with other settings, please specify if you can
