Allowed UMA GPUs and some other memory-constrained graphics cards to use more system memory for graphics allocations

Hotfix 3 tanked my FPS, I use a GTX 980 4gb VRAM.

could this be the reason? :
From patch 3 notes : "Allowed UMA GPUs and some other memory-constrained graphics cards to use more system memory for graphics allocations"

I think you mean Hotfix 3. There hasn't been a patch yet. The first patch is due tomorrow morning.

Yep I'll fix that.

Yep I'll fix that.

Just out of curiosity.. how much main memory (CPU memory) does your computer have?

"UMA generally stands for unified memory architecture. It indirectly refers to the fact that integrated graphics card uses the system RAM because it does not have any of its own integrated RAM. Therefore, whenever you come across the term UMA that is an indication of some sort of integrated graphics"

But you never know.. Have you monitored your Vram usage?

UMA is basically a low-end laptop thing, so I doubt it
