If anyone would like to purchase Far Cry 6 for me, I'll test it on a 3840 x 1600 and a 4k display with a 3080. Ill put the UHD textures on, then enjoy my locked 144hz performance
.Deal?

10GB vram enough for the 3080? Discuss..

Additional; I tested previously at Ultra with everything cranked at 1440P, HUB tested with High settings at 1440P with HD textures, I have no idea if RT was used in their benchmark but already I think something is fishy here.
I played to the tank part where previously I hit 6 FPS just changing the preset to high, this time I was hovering around 86-101 FPS which is sublime performance for a 3070, however when reaching the tank, my performance tanked again but to 43 FPS this time again hitting memory walls.
HUB is either using no RT or is fudging things to keep Nvidia in line with Radeon as in this game you have to scale back on Nvidia.
Is anyone here going to think people don't play any part of their games they test with?
I mean this is the very beginning of FC6.

Tommy's already run it at 4K Ultra Settings on his 3080 10GB with the HD Texture pack.If anyone would like to purchase Far Cry 6 for me, I'll test it on a 3840 x 1600 and a 4k display with a 3080. Ill put the UHD textures on, then enjoy my locked 144hz performance

Good spot on noticing that HUB were not even using Ultra settings, even I missed that.
Don't know for sure about HU with regards to RT but computerbase.de uses max settings + HD texture pack and ray tracing:
Had a quick look on ubi forums as been a while, first post I seen on the topic:

Doesn't get me a copy of Far Cry 6 though, does it?
To be fair, I may get it anyway, as I'm interested in where 10gb IS enough. At 4k, the developer has said it's not enough and that's fine, but where would I sit with 3840 x 1600 I wonder?
As far as I was concerned there was plenty evidence before hand that 8gb would not be enough for the high res texture pack.
Anyway, hopefully this year x070/80 class GPU's come with 16gb.
So far as predicted from nearly two years ago when all this started I said I expect there to be a handful of games that would need more than 10gb by the time next gen cards are out and out of those how many would one be interested in playing? I was right for my needs. But next gen for this class of gpu it needs to be 16gb in my opinion.

I added a reply to their post supporting the issue and mentioned how benchmarks are not in line either.
Must have to wait on the post to show up.
This whole debate and the other vram threads that people have to realise that even if youre right and the lack of vram is a problem that its what five or less games that you cant run on MAX SETTINGS due to vram. If one couldnt play these games at all then some of you may have a point but its funny af to watch pc users argue over this when one can change setting to suit ones hardware/personal needs. Strange concept to some of you I guess.
Some of you are also being disingenuous af with the whole people are sheep and they dont listen, resorting to playing the victim card, moving the goalposts etc... stop projecting and look in the mirror.
I'm going to make a hot take and convince me otherwise and I'll say the vram isnt really the issue as the people that shout the loudest dont even own the cards but these threads are just a way for posters to flex/troll each other.

Yup, I think most people have all declared that 8GB for 4k is not ideal in the "is 8gb vram enough" thread. I think for 1440, it is still fairly good and enough for 99% of games though as shown by HU video when compared to the 6700xt and even for 4k, iirc, it still came out 14% faster on average across 50 games and that was at 4k and not factoring in ray tracing except for metro EE.
But given that their results might be wrong as well as computerbase.de, who knows.... go with whatever fits the narrative best at the time
Pretty much.
Which is why I always state this:
Especially when you look at every other game, which not only looks better but has far more going on etc.
Look at the 4K results.Don't know for sure about HU with regards to RT but computerbase.de uses max settings + HD texture pack and ray tracing:

It looks like at 1440P it might be okay in some areas of the game, as all these sites use different areas to test. Ultimately though you will reach a point where the FPS will fall off a cliff.Doesn't get me a copy of Far Cry 6 though, does it?

When I had my 3090 FE I tested it overclocked vs my 6900 XT overclocked in Far Cry 6 and found that at 4K Ultra Settings with RT + HD Texture pack the 6900 XT was 15% faster. I will have to get the video up on YouTube.
No one is disputing their results from what I can see, but HUB were not even using Ultra Settings which is a problem. Computerbase already highlighted the frame time issues with the 3080 at 1440P, but it looks like they managed to run it at 1440P without the FPS dropping to single digits. It fell off a cliff at 4K though.But given that their results might be wrong as well as computerbase.de, who knows.... go with whatever fits the narrative best at the time

I'm looking at a widescreen resolution though, so somewhere between 1440p and 4k. There has to be a drop off somewhere, quite interested to see where it is. I have no problem turning down settings to enjoy the game, but I'm now interested - This thread has done more than the whole advertising campaign for me!
Did you run the 3090 v 6900xt test in their base forms?
Yes try it out Bill see how it goes. Curious to know myself as it's in-between both resolutions. My gut says you'll get frame time variance and or FPS drops but there's only one way to find out...
By base form do you mean stock clocks? If so no, I wanted to see what both could do overclocked to their maximum whilst remaining stable.
Here's the 3090 video, my 6900 XT was scoring 82 FPS I believe.
Look at the 4K results.
HD Textures not possible on the 3080. I guess that backs up the PcGamesHardware results that show single digit FPS on the 3080.

Yet here it is playing on my system without any single digit fps unless rebar was turned on and no FSR
Well it was when I had it.... Will get the game again when price drops or there is a reason worthy of taking out ubi sub.Either way doesn't change the fact that computerbase.de results are wrong for the 3070 at 1440p if it is indeed a widespread issue
Maybe a system issue on tired9 end..... @Tired9 just looking at your video again, your RAM usage is exceedingly low, on my end at 3440x1440, RAM usage was about 14-16gb (that was with all windows closed in the background too). How much RAM do you have?
The game will run fine without the texture pack which is optional. If it does not then it is due to lack of grunt and nothing to do with vram.

I understand. Its a shame.
We have shared this. I think the latest guy was @tommybhoy but we do have others that know this too. Especially those with 4k displays.
Yeah that's very weird, RAM usage even when first loading into the game is straight away sitting at 14/15GB usage, even at 3440x1440 so something doesn't seem right with your RAM usage sitting around 6-8GB. Page file changes or any mods/changes?
Anyone else with a 3070 @ 1440 and 32gb ram?
It’s just funny to see the stuff I said when the game launched slowly play out and more people starting to experience it. The gift that keeps on giving, and I think there’s still more to come.
