Beginning of the game, plenty of detail:

Will have a dig this evening.

Commend you for not having a near dead system log.

So, with all taken into account :

  1. Shadowplay capture length and settings
  2. Nvidia Broadcast used?
  3. Temperature readout

Something on your system is causing VRAM usage spike which will cause WT to downscale, not necessarily to do with or caused by Gaijin.

Are you launching via steam or launcher?

I launch from steam directly.
Temperatures are 65C max, I have an evga hybrid 1080 ti which is water cooled.

I tried running the game without geforce experience (so no overlay and ansel, etc…), problem was still there.
Even if I run the game with the lowest texture quality, vram useage will eventually reach 8.7 gb after some matches.

Tried to change LOD behaviour in nvidia settings, did not help. And as i understand things should be fine with the default 3D settings in the nvidia control panel.

The now called nvidia app (just updated today from the geforce exp.) tells me my system does not support Nvidia broadcast (min. 2060 needed).

I cant find Shadowplay in the nvidia app either.

did not run until >8GB, but I dont see significant VRAM use by other processes:

I see here now that the page fault counts is large number, dont know if thats normal.

Hmmmm…

Mind manually limiting the FPS in Nvidia Control panel? Here is a GUIDE if you are not sure how too.

I had it limited to 149 FPS.
The problem also happened persistently when I was using my monitor in 120Hz mode.

run a 1 hour long power test with OCCT, no errors.
Same for gpu memory and shader tests.

I have to say again that the WT official support is very disappointing.
I have to wait several days for their next response, that consists of nothing else but asking a single screenshot of the WT launcher graphics settings…
I am writing pages long descriptions of how the problem happens, how I tested my system…

Why dont they check my system with a remote desktop? I would be willing to go for that…
Why does not the game has a useable debug log, or debug mode?

I just realised I never hit reply on my last message, do apologise. Ever got it resolved?

Also, welcome to add me on discord. It is quicker and easier for me to work hands on than having to go back to what has been covered already. I am ADHD as hell and thread base usually does not work that well. We can return here with cause and resolve.

Thank you, but no solution unfortunately.

I even tried win 11, no luck.
Than rolled back to win 10 with a clean install (again), still no luck.

At least the support recently acknowledged that its an issue and they are working on it.

I tried out some more games, like doom 2016, CS GO 2, etc, no issues there.

This seems to be a recurring problem, I found a lot of old and new (<1month) posts, like this for example:

The update did not solve this problem.
