Vram Bug! please patch this Problem

I have the same problem. After playing for a while the game starts glitching out until it eventually crashes (or I restart the game).

I don't think this is a max setting problem; I run on "High", on an older gaming laptop (RTX 2070, 8 GB VRAM), and I was impressed with the performance and overall appearance of the game at launch. Since patch 1, I've been experiencing similar issues that I assume are related. Before the patch, I could play as long as I wanted with multiple zone switches and no lag or stuttering except after multiple sessions (basically just required restarting the computer once daily). Now I notice that after a few zone switches, I start getting stuttering, video lag, and frame freezes that cause my camera to **bleep** to the ceiling. The issues get worse if I reload a saved game after continuing play. I'm now having to end sessions and restart the computer multiple times per day.

I have the exact same problem. RTX 3080 ti with 12GB of VRAM. After playing for a while I get huge stutters and low fps and indeed in the settings it seems that the VRAM is on the red. 

If it was like this from the start I'd know I have to lower settings. However the game run without a hitch for many days. I don't remember exactly when the problem started for me but I don't think it was with the first patch. I think the timing was closer to the release of the second patch. 

My system maxes out its VRAM, and then starts using system memory, but I haven't seen any loss of FPS from running it on a mix of High/Ultra settings with no RT turned on, with a 3060.
