Intense gpu Vram leak on cs2

[CrilAR]

There's an ongoing cs2 vram leak issue and as far as i'm concerned this issue may be occuring on lower amd cpu systems. So now to be clear the vram leak is clear with vulkan just after few seconds in within game. And with the dx11 if you have a better system it gets better and you get vram leak very slowly. But if you have a system like mine where you do have a ryzen 5 5500 paired with a b580 the game just immidiately happens to experience high lags with intense vram leak. With vulkan it was 13gb in roughly 5minutes in round. When i returned to lobby it was 8gb. Then with the directx 11 it was around 6.5gb's when i started after playing around an hour it happened to go up to 13gb vram usage again. I do use Hags and game mode with rebar and 4g decoding on. And here's the SSU log. And this was not something that just happened to start occuring on this driver but it was existing ever since i bought the card on march 2025. Thank you.

Hello CrilAR,

Thank you for reaching out to the Intel Community Forum.

• Could you please provide us an image where you are seeing the high vRam usage?
• Could you also provide a screenshot or a video of the lags your experiencing?

I look forward to your response!

Best regards,

Hi Shane,

I'd have really like to share a Gpu Vram image but the ones i took from the steam are most likely not visible. I'll send a video for now and if i can i'll send an image tomorrow. I would be really happy if you read the description of the video. The test is Dx11 and when i ended the record it was 20 minutes in cs2. The cs2 had given away almost 11.4 vram usage in 20 minutes and usually in dx11 it gives away the full vram leak 30 minutes ingame. 

Here's the link for the video:

I'm sorry if there are some inappropriate words in it.

Hi, buddy.

Interestingly, I started this thread a long time ago, but Intel seems to be having staffing issues.
I don't know.

There's only one Felipe there who tests, answers, works, helps...

There is some positive progress in this topic, in the right direction:

Memory leaks are a problem in many games, as far as I understand.
There have been several threads about this, but Intel is in no hurry to investigate. They just close threads.

Hi gasoline i'm not a professional but i think it is a game likely issue and i've been experiencing some myself. Just for an example dayz has this vram leak issue intel tried to resolve it and they said at the end it was a game issue. After i reached the dayz forums they confirmed it is as game problem but they have no plans to work on it for now. And also i've been following your unsatisfactory cs2 performance thread and after i haven't heard from felipe for a while now i thought it would be good to help from another thread. I'm not quite sure what's happening with your threads but they happen to stop giving you support maybe after hearing you're russian? I hope this is just a theory and away from being real. But it could also be about the limited support for intel cards on russia. still i'm hoping it is nothing political.

Hi!

It's exactly as you said. At first, they told me they had an embargo with Russia. But they said they'd help. Then they changed their minds and said there was no support for my region.

But what's surprising is that they also have an embargo with China, but they support a lot of Chinese users here.

So it's exactly what you said, plus a biased approach.

Users of other video cards, not Intel ones, do not experience video memory overflow in CS2 and many other games.

If you see an Intel employee texting to check their email, there's a 99% chance the situation is the same as mine: this user shouldn't count on support.

Hi CrilAR,

With driver version 101.8801, things have gotten even worse.
The stuttering appears immediately, not after some time.

This driver also breaks textures in GTA 5.............

It became impossible to play it.

Hi 

I checked 8826

FPS has increased
Video memory usage is reduced
Gameplay is still choppy

[gasoline]

It's a bit quiet around here.
We need to liven things up.
What do you think?
