How to fix VRAM swapping on Zotac RTX 5060 Ti 8G?
When hitting the Seattle streets, my frame rate was jumping erratically between 60 FPS and 32 FPS, which is a total nightmare for anyone who cares about smooth gameplay. Monitoring with HWiNFO showed the VRAM usage hovering around 7.8GB, forcing the system to lean on the page file, causing frame times to spike wildly between 16ms and 42ms. I first tried enabling Low Latency Mode in the NVIDIA Control Panel, but while the input felt a bit snappier, the stuttering remained—a complete waste of time. I eventually dove into the game settings, dropped the Texture Quality from Ultra to High, and manually bumped my Windows virtual memory to 32GB. Checking RivaTuner, the frame times finally settled into a rock-steady 14-15ms range. I actually tried some sketchy third-party VRAM expander tools first, but they just crashed the game instantly. After a clean wipe, the GPU stayed at 68-75℃ and VRAM hit 82-88℃. The resource loading curve is finally flat, and the settings are saved.
