I didn’t want to go this far and I won’t be getting any longer but since you insist, let me remind you and other people who think that way WHAT THE MINIMUM, IDEAL, and RECOMENDED SPECS ARE AS PUBLISHED:
People with 12-16GB of VRAM needs to run the sim on medium-high despite having the ideal spec? It makes sense in any way?
To be clear, we are complaining about the clearly missbehaviour of the VRAM usage, but It’s interesting to also notice what Asobo/MS say to customers about the specs needed for the sim.

EDIT: Note, most of us REALLY want the sim to be fixed, please. It’s just that on top of the fact that most of us are having problems with the bugs, we have to deal with people saying that everything is 10/10 IGN when it isn’t, and that is painfull for everyone except for greedy companies.
