NVIDIA RTX 50 SERIES - Technical/General Discussion

[TNA]

You didn't play Far Cry 6 then on your 3080? I can tell you it was a stuttering mess on my old 3080 at 4k when it bounced around 10gb Vram usage and was unplayable and that was 2021 title, It's only going to get worse as GPU performance increases and higher quality textures are used.

Played it for 15 minutes or so on £1 trail ubipass. Uninstalled and never touched it again. Lol.

That was the only game as I recall that had vram issues back then if you installed the optional textures.

In my experience, by the time a card is out of vram, it is way out of performance. Case in point 3090 users who are selling and upgrading to 16GB cards.

All those games I listed above. Absolutely zero vram issues.

Yup VRAM ‘needs’ beyond 16gb are totally overhyped / overplayed. Yet to hear of anyone who actually struggles with this issue in a way that’s ‘game breaking’.

I guess it's more about longevity

Because of high prices, people don't want to buy a new GPU every generation anymore, they want to hold on for 2-3 generations and not have their GPU run out of memory in the meantime

They will need to drop settings down due to performance, so I guess it would hurt even more going down a setting on texture too. Lol.

Still though, 3090 users upgrading to 16GB cards. Lol.
