Playing DCS VR last night and vram allocation was up to 10Gb out of 11 on my 1080ti - so I dont really want to downgrade vram

Yeah but is there any actual analysis around rather than the above anecdote?

I have 8gb, never checked usage, never noticed issues, gaming at 1440p. Obviously more is better but is it actually an issue.

You do know a lot of games pre-allocate ram based on a percentage of available amounts and are not actually required.

So if that ends up being accurate looks like the 3090 is effectively the Titan and there is a gap for a 3080ti to slot in at around the same pricing of the 2080ti's. Presumably Nvidia holding it back for Navi 21/22 launch.

They're holding it back to milk, if it ends up being able to counter AMD's move that's just a bonus. ;)

Yes. yes we do. Flight sim uses heaps for a start. Im not buying a top end card in 2020 (nearly 2021) that has less than 12GB. Sorry. If that means the 3080 is a no go then so be it. I'll wait for AMD. They are never shy with the amount of Mem you get.

Ah but thats why you need to buy the 3080 super with 16gb of ram ;)

Agreed there is no actual way of telling how much ram is being used vs allocation. But if the game is allocating it there is a chance it could use it surely?

What NVcache... is that where you actually get 9.75GB but it's sold as 10GB ? :p

"One of the new nuggets of information is that NVIDIA will introduce something called NVCache with Ampere, which will act similar to AMD's own technology that debuted with Vega in HBCC (High Bandwidth Cache Controller). Like HBCC, NVCache will use some of the system RAM and SSD of your system, and super-speed game load times and optimize VRAM usage.
