Raise Farming Simulator 25's texture-streaming VRAM budget — matched to your card, automatically.
Important
Enjoying the mod? You can support development on Ko-fi ☕ — please mention Auto VRAM Optimizer so I know what to keep building.
Farming Simulator 25 caps high-resolution texture streaming at about 4 GB of graphics memory by default. On texture-heavy or large maps your card constantly drops and reloads textures → flicker, pop-in, and stutter during load.
Auto VRAM Optimizer raises that cap so FS25 actually uses the VRAM your card has. The mod applies the budget on every game start; a tiny one-click helper detects your graphics-card memory (NVIDIA / AMD / Intel) and sets the right value for you — so it matches your card instead of a guessed default. The result: smoother loading and crisp textures — no code editing, no fuss.
- ✅ Auto-detects your VRAM — cross-vendor (NVIDIA / AMD / Intel); the budget matches your actual card
- ✅ Never exceeds your card — the budget is capped at a fraction of your detected VRAM, even on a smaller card than recommended
- ✅ Smoother loading — fewer "not responding" hangs on big maps
- ✅ No texture pop-in / flicker when you turn the camera
- ✅ Multiplayer-safe — changes no gameplay, no savegame, no sync state
- ✅ 8 languages — shows in your game's language automatically (EN/DE/FR/ES/IT/PT/PL/RU)
Important
Only use it if your graphics card has more than 4 GB of VRAM.
- Download
FS25_AutoVRAMOptimizer.zip. - Drop it into your FS25
modsfolder. - Enable it in the mod selection. Done — it applies a budget on every start.
Note
Release assets are unsigned (no certificate, no signtool code-signing). Every
release includes a SHA256SUMS file — verify a download against it
(sha256sum -c SHA256SUMS / Get-FileHash on Windows) if you want to
confirm it wasn't altered in transit.
The mod alone uses a safe default; the helper makes it match your actual hardware:
- Download
AutoVRAM-Tool.zip(attached to the release) and unzip it anywhere. - Double-click
Auto-Set-VRAM.bat. - It detects your graphics-card memory (NVIDIA / AMD / Intel) and writes the right value into
modSettings/FS25_AutoVRAMOptimizer.xml. The next game start uses it.
Needs Windows + Python 3 (a one-time run — you don't need it to play). Skip it and the mod falls back to a safe default you can also edit by hand below.
On first run the mod creates modSettings/FS25_AutoVRAMOptimizer.xml:
<textureStreamingBudget vramGiB="5.0" .../>vramGiB = how much VRAM FS25 may use for textures. Rule of thumb: your VRAM in GB minus 3 — the game needs the rest for non-texture VRAM (render targets, meshes, shadows, other mods), which spikes on large/heavy maps. The default (5) suits 8 GB cards. Set it once for your card; lower it if a heavy map still crashes; delete the file to reset.
| Your card | Suggested vramGiB |
|---|---|
| 6 GB | 3 |
| 8 GB | 5 (default) |
| 12 GB | 9 |
| 16 GB | 12 |
| 24 GB | 18 |
FS25 exposes an engine call, setTextureStreamingMemoryBudget(bytes), that most players never touch — and its default is a conservative ~4 GB. This mod calls it once on load with your configured value. The value comes from real hardware: Lua can't read physical VRAM in-game, so the helper reads it from the vendor-neutral display-adapter registry key (the value NVIDIA, AMD and Intel drivers all populate, and which — unlike WMI's AdapterRAM — isn't capped at 4 GB) and writes it into the settings file the mod reads. Honest, tiny, and it just works.
Fully safe. The texture budget is a local rendering setting — it never touches gameplay, savegames, or server/client sync. Install it (or not) per machine; nothing has to match.
