Well no one can say 16/20GB isn't enough video memory that's for sure.

10GB vram enough for the 3080? Discuss..

Oh but they will. Bias and fanboys everywhere. Lol
16gb is not enough, my 3080ti has 20gb, much better etc etc.
Agreed - please start another thread "16/20 Gb is enough. Discuss ...."
This is a bizarre comment, I paid £650 for my FE, I wouldn't pay a penny more, it's a graphics card not a car. I have no doubt there is either a 3080 Super or TI on the horizon, I also have no doubt that it will cost at least £850 for a FE which for me and I suspect many others will be too much to spend on a toy. The AIB's will be pushing £1000 and at those prices the wife would have me sleeping in the garden let alone on the sofa.
If it came out in the next few months at £650 I would be annoyed for sure. But I don't see it.
Sorry to say, as it goes against the "pallet of salt talk" as soon as any Leaks come out and as unbelievable as it sounds, Videocardz and Wccftech were pretty close to the mark when it came to the rumoured specifications leading up to the Ampere launch.
The only thing that completely threw everyone off is NVIDIA claiming double the CUDA cores with an advanced architecture.
Nothing is confirmed until NVIDIA put it on the table, but surely 3080 owners can understand that they refuse to be second best with AMD. A big part of their business strategy is to have the best at all cost.
6900XT has spoiled the Ampere party I'm afraid at the price of $999... I think a 3080Ti is genuinely on the cards to fight back to AMD at a price that is more competitive than the 3090.

Evidence at the moment is 10GB is enough for current and for games that are to be released (evidence already posted in the thread). This could change. Stating one game that is not even released as an example when its ment to use an extreme HD texture pack is not really proof. Its called cherry picking. Its called biaed when that is an AMD sponsored game designed to run on AMD hardware as a showcase. Shouting about it and stating 10GB is not enough is ridiculous.
Bet when all is said and done it runs fine on the RTX 3080.

Now there is a 3080 ti 20GB and you post a link. What does that link state at the top?
Yet you state 10496 cuda cores or the same as the RTX 3090. So basically a RTX 3090 with less memory bandwidth and 4GB less memory.
Yet people ignore this https://videocardz.com/newz/amd-ray...dia-rt-core-in-this-dxr-ray-tracing-benchmark
If this is true, AMD cards will be 1080p/1440p in Control which is what a 2080 ti can do. 16GB is enough for 1080p/1440p right?

If you sleep next to the graphics card when it is on it should kick out enough heat for living in the garden
This isn't a court case buddy. It's very simple - the 3080 is supposed to be the flagship, yet has less VRAM than the 1080ti, that released 3.5 years ago.
Games are already pressing up against the 10GB limit at 4k, such as Doom eternal that needs between 8 and 10GB. Flight Sim 2020, that needs more than 10GB.
Then you have next gen games like Godfall, that is officially confirmed by the developer to require 12GB VRAM. Do you know more that a developer?
The next gen consoles have double the total memory over the last generation of consoles. This means the developers are making use of the double total memory, this will carry over to PC ports, require more VRAM than previous games.
It seems Nvidia also agree, else why would they be putting 20GB on the 3080ti? Why not 10GB?....
The 3080ti will be an absolutely fantastic card, I'm excited to buy it when it releases. I'm going to need a HDMI 2.1 card to tie me over until it releases though, so will be picking up whatever card I can find in stock!
Sad to hear my 3080 won't hit minimum specs and the game will be unplayable.
In all seriousness though will be fine at 3440x1440 and at 4K will probably need to be run at high textures rather than ultra with no discernible difference.
That is really misleadingly worded. Godfall doesn't require 12GB VRAM, it has a specific Ultra mode with 4k x 4k textures, developed in conjunction with AMD, and the devs say that to run this specific mode uses 12GB of VRAM.
The real minimum specs https://www.pcgamer.com/uk/godfall-pc-system-requirements/
Minimum
- OS: Windows 10
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 1600 or Intel Core i5-6600
- GPU: AMD Radeon RX 580 8GB or Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 6GB
- RAM: 12GB
He was being sarcastic, doofus.
There is no RTX 3080 ti, it does not exist. NVidia have rejected all the rumors of more vRAM so far. The rumors are just that rumors.
I notice that people are NOT saying that the "Flagship card must be able to run all games maxed at 4K".
Instead they seem willing to accept a card that cannot max settings on all games....But if the reason they have to turn down a setting is vram, well, now *this* is just unacceptable!
A 3090 can't run my favorite sim maxed out in VR and that game doesn't even use 8gb of vram. I'm not calling for everyone to grab their torches and pitchforks though.

Hard to tell on the internet.
It's not hard to tell when someone follows up by specifically saying: "In all seriousness though...". That's basically a sarcasm/joke tag.
Witcher 2 can't be run 4k @ 60 fps with all the settings turned on. It just melts any GPU that tries. Guess all the GPU's need more vRAM for Witcher 2 a game released in 2011. Guess we were all willing to accept cards that could not and most likely still cant run Witcher 2 at max settings.
Its not like if you need more vRAM you cant just use 8:1 compression.

What specifically did they say? Because the term 4k textures is ambiguous. Are all textures 4k? Are some textures 4k?
You say that, and it maz be true, but considering that the 2080Ti had 11GB 2 years ago is it really unreasonable that a nex-gen engine with a crazy ultra mode uses more than 10GB VRAM? It's on the border for whether they did try to rub it in Nvidias face or whether that's just how much the mode used when they had finished with it.
Either way, we all know Nvidia skimped on the VRAM and the launch owners will be the ones to suffer from that next year.
