you also have to remember that a card with more memory uses more memory.
12gb usage on say a 3090 with identical settings won’t be 12gb usage on a 3080 or even a 3070 for that matter.
It takes A LOT to max a cards vram.

Yeah cause the 3080 only has 10gb so of course you won't see the game use 12gb vram, 2GB will end up in your system Ram
No it will be under 10gb.

So what did we decide after 209 pages?
I'm in the no camp mostly based on the price. If you can get an FE for MSRP then yeah its a decent card and you should be delighted but once your're paying £1k plus for it I would feel a little cheated with "only 10GB" Just my opinion.

Probably means nothing as all the cards sell out regardless of vram
If you keep your card for 7 months then 10GB will be fine. If you want to keep your card for longer then it will be an issue.
My opinion means nothing?
Bit savage but fair point
Haha wasn't meant to come across that way, my bad

But what will you be able to get in 7 months thats any better?
What if you want to keep the card for 8 months?
At that point you're **** out of luck
Integrated graphics with 64GB of DDR4
P.S. the 7 month thing is based on a joke a few pages back

The real reason for dlss2, Nvidia figured thered be gddr shortages
By the time there are a handful of games released worth playing we will be on next gen cards that will have more vram anyways. I have yet to still see a single game worth playing that needs more than 10gb and we are probably not far of half the life cycle of this gen of cards.
No doubt someone that does not understand the difference between allocated and actual used vram will reply

24GB VRAM for gaming at at moment to me is a waste of memory as no game I have, uses it. But let's see what new games come out and their requirements.

Indeed, before we know it a new range of cards will be released. This thread is already close to a year old already.
