How to view and optimize graphics card usage?

Windows' own video memory detection data may not be accurate, we recommend using GPU-Z.
Detecting the sensor - memory used parameter can help with better video memory management.
If your dedicated GPU memory usage has reached 80% and above, the core advantage of the graphics card has decreased and will be in an unstable state; at this time, D5 may lag or render slower, and there may be pop-ups reporting errors or flashbacks.
Optimize graphics memory usage
The following settings are available for optimization：
Start D5 Render with administrator privileges and restart your computer. The program will automatically modify the TDR values, which can improve the stability to a great extent.
Turn on DLSS.
Depth of field, Tyndall effect, and other settings can take up a lot of video memory, so use your discretion.
Higher resolution mapping will also take up video memory, you can replace the mapping of materials farther away from the camera with a lower resolution mapping and try to avoid using replacement.
More reflective scenes will reduce efficiency, you can turn the specular of materials far from the camera to 0 to cancel the reflection.
Windows' own GPU usage data may not be accurate, we recommend using GPU-Z. Check the sensor-memory used parameter for better memory management.
