I was playing Crysis on the Reckoning level and monitoring stats using Gpu-z.

I was running at 1080p with very high textures and the memory used was being reported as 986mb which seems too high to me - this was on a GTX460 1GB card. Does anyone know if the Gpu-z memory load reading is accurate or if these numbers look OK.

What's your CPU and ram?

As long as you are not getting FPS loss because of it, you should be okay... You might have a memory leak that'll cause crashing, but otherwise it will not cause harm. Crysis is an extremely GPU heavy game, so I would kinda take the high memory usage as a good thing, it means the game code is doing its job.

I had texture streaming disabled so that's why it was using all the memory on the card. Still, I am surprised that a 4 year old game would use a full 1GB. Also, it seems disabling texture streaming has little effect on performance.
