After the latest update I've started to see "WARNING: Setting a larger streaming budget than recommended for detected VRAM of 6052MB" while streaming buffer is set to "Very High (6GB VRAM)".

  • Same here,


    7740x+ 1060GB+16 GB DDR4 2666mhz,

    When setting VRAM to 6gb I get the "Setting a larger streaming budget.." message.


    Is it a bug?

    It started just after the season 2 update,

    before it wasn't like this.

    Should I set it to 4 now even though I have 6gb of ram or should I stick with 6 even though I get the message???

    Help us EA

  • I have the same problem, getting the warning message "WARNING: Setting a larger streaming budget than recommended for detected VRAM of 8080MB" while streaming buffer is set to "Insane (8GB VRAM)".

    On top of this, the actual VRAM usage peaks at 5417MB using this setting.
