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

We used the latest public Steam release version of Ghost Recon Wildlands (not a press pre-release).

Graphics Memory Usage

Using a GTX Titan X Pascal, which has 12 GB of VRAM, we tested the game's memory usage.

In the "Very High" preset, memory usage is very reasonable, ideal for cards with 4 GB VRAM.

If you have a modern graphics card with more memory, the Ultra preset with its richly detailed textures could be an option. 6 GB VRAM usage at 4K Ultra is quite reasonable given even last generation's high-end cards shipped with at least 6 GB of VRAM.
