RAM or VRAM usage?

[theninthchevron]

In the bottom left corner where you see your FPS and RAM usage, does that mean system RAM or VRAM? I'm curious how much VRAM warframe uses at high settings.

It's showing system memory.

GPUz  or MSI Afterburner will show you VRAM usage.

It's showing neither.

Technically, it is a display of an amount of System RAM. However, it only shows Warframe's explicit heap. Nothing more.

This is different from what Windows will show you, which is Warframe + everything else in use by warframe - drivers etc.

If you want to see your VRAM usage, download MSI Afterburner. Open up it's settings, and enable GPU Memory.

Thanks for the replies. Looks like I'm using about 1.5GB VRAM with all settings on high. That was on the orokin moon tileset.
