How to stop VRAM overflow on Vastarmor RX 9060 XT 16GB?
Once my population crossed 3,000, the game started hanging every time I zoomed out—I'm talking a full two-second freeze for every single move. Even with 16GB on the Vastarmor RX 9060 XT, the VRAM hit 96-99% during heavy asset loads, forcing data into the system RAM and creating a massive I/O bottleneck. I tried lowering shadows, which gave me a pathetic 5 FPS boost but didn't stop the freezing, which left me feeling pretty anxious. I eventually went into Advanced System Settings and manually set my virtual memory to 48GB, locking it to my fastest NVMe partition and disabling the auto-manage option. In the Resource Monitor, the page file R/W dropped from 120MB/s to 30MB/s, and response latency plummeted from 200ms to 40ms. I actually accidentally set the page file to my HDD first, which made the lag three times worse until I moved it back to the SSD. GPU temps stayed around 65-72℃. After a five-hour stress test, it's finally stable.
