10GB vram enough for the 3080? Discuss..

Which claim specifically are you referencing?
Does it matter? almost the entire video bares little resemblance to the actual facts and that was just one example.
I mean read the GA10x whitepaper and compare against his claims https://www.nvidia.com/content/dam/...pere-GA102-GPU-Architecture-Whitepaper-V1.pdf
His video was from May, the whitepaper published in August.
That is kind of the point - people are taking his information with a level of validity that is unwarranted when the facts come to light.
I agree in regards to a lot of wrong info that video, however there are various theories, like the AIB rebate, which I subscribe to, I am rather cynical when it comes to Nvidia.
This guy is kinda hit and miss.
The new consoles will use 10GB at most for graphics. The XBox has a 6/10GB split in RAM speed.
You really should have purchased the ASUS STRIX 3090 GUNDAM edition for maximum epeen
Yeah, I think we've been led astray for years on this.
I bet it doesn't actually use that much. Allocate? Sure.
I get that but I don't think Nvidia benefit from AIB profiteering from demand spiking.

I'm not so sure they are profiting, if Nvidia is giving them a temporary rebate whilst also setting the price for GDDR6X/dies, they can appear to be the angel (sell FE at msrp) whilst charging AIB's more for the components making the AIB prices higher.
Ah, got you. That would be the cherry on top for this mess.

Actually usage or allocated? Bear in mind the entire memory pool of the new consoles is 16gb, not just vram.
A lot of people yet don’t understand that there is a difference. Hence all the concern.
Think you find a 3080 will not fit into the new consoles so i can't see what the new consoles have got to do with a PC GPU

There was no mention of adding a 3080 to consoles. Where did you get that from? The discussion is as is the title, 10GB vram enough for the 3080? Discuss..
What I did say was that the next gen consoles would only be using 10GB of their total 16GB of RAM for graphics. So if the consoles can do 4k in 10GB or more often under, why can't the PC?

No one can possibly answer this question without benching identical cards with different memory configurations. You can't just look at vram allocated/in-use. This thread is just going to go round in circles until the 4080 comes out and no one cares any more.
