10GB vram enough for the 3080? Discuss..

Spoiler

The funny part is the gaming companies are killing off pc gaming not because their games require better hardware but because their games are not even worth buying anymore. It's been a long time since I have had a game on pc that's even made me sit there and want to finish it apart from the Sony PS4/5 games released to PC, racing, fighting games SFV etc and the MSFS that you can't really finish just enjoy learning to fly/land and see the worlds sights..

The game prices and the quality of them and the stories to them have reached a new low and most feel like they are written by an 8 year old, forspoken being a great example the dialogue is comical and mind numbing. Cyberpunk is boring as hell too after a few hours playing it, we need more old style games again that actually pulled you in to play, not force yourself to play it because it cost a small fortune for what it is. Anyways..

Have a nice Sunday all.

Games are still great, you might just be getting too old

I love the way that gif includes the obligatory DLSS ghosting, top work @Purgatory.

Naa just a lot of the games these days are not doing it for me, like a lot of the movies too... Things are not as well made as they were before, sticking lots of effects and flashy things on screen doesn't make a good game or movie. It's all been seen before now and nothing new with CGI for games or movies. Back in the old days they were bothered about stories and characters that made you want to stay to play or watch. Name one decent new original character in any new movie or game recently...

Also everything is a remake or remaster these days too. AKA we have seen it before and not original new content and they are trying to profit on nostalgia because nostalgia = when it was actually good in most cases.

Baldurs Gate 3 is looking fab. Completely different to previous two games of course, more like a Larian style RPG. Which is of course, fantastic. Also looking forward to Starfield, Diablo 4, Dragon Age 4, new Mass Effect game.

He did not seem that way before. But I noticed it a little to of late.

He’s always been like that, you should read his Twitter.

Steve is very aggressive on Twitter

So ******** as usual. 10gb wasnt the issue. After yesterday’s patch i’m running full RT @ 3440x1440 on my aw3423dw with a 10gb 3080 smooth as butter in hogsmeade/hog castle. Whereas before patch it was stuttering non stop no matter the settings. Yeah RT off was better but still stuttered. So again, vram myth debunked.

That being said, game looks great. RT is subtle in most cases but turning it off and on and you can easily see how much more natural on looks. The reflections affect most surfaces making materials look realistic in motion plus the RTAO in characters is sublime.

Lowering the graphics to get higher framerate doesn't mean "vram myth debunked" no matter how many times you guys say it

What’s lowered?

I was just about to order a 3060 12gb as well. Saved by the patch

Only way it will likely die is when a mod locks it.

I kinda agree with that but then the question is, are you saying that every single card is doa? Cause none of them can play hogwarts native 4k with rt without lowering some settings. Not even the 4090. In fact, even a hypothetical 5090 will have problems for a steady 60. So what's your point exactly?

He doesn't really have one. Was just an emotional post to stroke his ego. Look how much vram e-peen I have

I think your post is exactly why the vram issue is not being discussed much in regards to Hogwarts. Otherwise this thread would be on fire with celebrations.

But no worries, if rumours are true of a 10gb 4070 soon it will be like this in this thread:

There is hope. Although lets not turn hogwarts into the only talking point. "its just one game"

His point is valid, particularly those using DLLS. I will use Trick as a good example:

That patch and the ini tweaks completely fixed Hogwarts for me on a 10GB 3080. 1440p, RT on, ultra textures, DLSS Q. No stuttering or slowdowns anymore anywhere, I lock the fps at 60fps, the frametime is a flat line and the gpu barely gets over 1000mhz sipping about 150w max.

I’m not in denial about vram issues going forward, but I do think clickbait headlines like the hub Hogwarts review need to be scrutinised and revisited once games are patched/fixed (or maybe nerfed in the case of W3 4.0.1 patch!)

At least people are recognising it, but if your running at lower resolutions your mitigating the problem which we talked about at the very beginning.
