Benchmark scores in other reviews are only comparable when this exact same configuration is used.

We used the latest public release version of the game (not a press pre-release). We also used the latest game-ready drivers from both AMD and NVIDIA.

Graphics Memory Usage

Using a GTX 1080 Ti, which has 11 GB of VRAM, we tested the game's memory usage.

At maximum settings, COD: WWII uses around 8 GB of VRAM, no matter the resolution. This is not unlike previous Call of Duty titles, where the engine tries to fill up as much of the video memory as possible, even with assets that might not be needed at all.

If you take a look at the benchmarks below, there is no visible performance hit for cards with less memory capacity.
