10GB vram enough for the 3080? Discuss..

Fake news and a game no one cares about, not to mention the graphics are nothing special anyway, so why the extra vram needed? Lol.
I did say a game worth playing after all
So if a game uses more than 10gb vram and it affects image quality for 3070 and 3080 owners then it's automatically a game not worth playing, yep got
Mostly down to it being a game that's not worth playing. Then there is the Epic exclusive BS. And finally, the more than 10GB of VRAM BS, though I admit it's about time AMD returned some of the BS Nvidia has thrown in the past.

Nothing wrong with a little leg pulling, I give as good as i get.

Didn't know you had a seedy past matt!
So 10GB should be fine until next year when the 4080 and AMD’s next gen offerings are out. Just as I thought
Same here, played many modern demanding games. All been perfectly fine.
Will be interesting to see when we will get the next gen game (worth playing) that will run 4K60fps but need more than 10GB vram. All the games I am waiting on to play before selling my 3080 later this year like Dying Light 2, Bloodlines 2, Resident Evil Village should run fine is my guess. There are no games coming out in 2022 that I look forward to, so will probably just end up with a 4070 next year.
4080 24gb cost £1000 but it will be ok as we can sell our 3080s for £800
Well I would not mind if it works out like that, as in it only costs me £200 to upgrade to such a card. But I was thinking something more like a 4070 16GB version that has much RT and just a little more better at rasta for under £5004080 24gb cost £1000 but it will be ok as we can sell our 3080s for £800
Those are all low vram games, besides Control, where it's more in-line with what's standard but still has a subpar streaming system, so if it worked properly maybe it would need more. Granted I think it's going to be another year or two before games switch to better tech & allow better vram usage, at a minimum, so not much to worry about on with a 3080.
Have a link?

It really looks bad. But also a lot of argument went into it. Some think it might be because of HDD and such. Dunno:!!
I also found this chart. So if VRAM of 3070 freaks out at 1440p, I'm pretty sure it will also freak out for 1080p as well... Don't know why a lot of people act like 1080p uses a whole ton less vram. it does not seem to be case.

Once again, we are going by that one person on reddit???? If that was the case, there would be a lot more people posting the same. Someone already debunked that showing how it looks on their 8GB GPU on here iirc and it looked nothing like what that guy was having with his 5700xt so either flaw in his testing, bug with the game or something wrong with this PC/GPU.
And also, the fact that there was clearly "bugs/issues" with HZD textures, look at most of the patches and what they fixed:

And also the patch 1.09 in particular:

Oh, thank you for that information. Sorry if I bothered you, I kept reading but i only arrived page 150
I will keep reading, sorry for problemI thought that was disproved as an engine issue.

8GB is cutting it fine, especially with ray tracing enabled. 8GB is 8,192MB. According to your chart for 1080p you would still have 692MB free, which is ~8.5% of 8GB.
Of course if you are using RT then you should also be using DLSS, which uses a lower resolution as source.
They didn't specify how much VRAM their card had. Funny enough i think they tested it on a 3080.
As another user pointed out at the time, one would need to compare AMD cards to AMD cards and Nvidia cards to Nvidia since they would handle VRAM differently. Though cross comparison would be interesting.
HZD will go over 10Gb if you play for a while on ultimate settings at 4k. The 3080 is more than capable to keep the game over 60FPS but once the game goes over 10Gb VRAM, idk how well will run or if will start to drop resolution to keep the frames above 60 FPS.
You can see here it goes above 10Gb VRAM: ( starts at 07:50 )

On a 3080 it dedicates the full 10gb buffer to the game
Unfortunately this video doesn't have a frametime graph, so hard to tell if the 3080 is running more unstable than the 3090 in terms of smoothness
I did find a video comparing the 3080 and 6900xt in this game and the 6900xt had a smoother frametime graph with dedicated VRAM usage at 10.8gb, but cause its a totally different card no one can say if its vram causing the difference in smoothness or a million other differences between them
