Re: Has anyone had problems with a RTX 3080 and it's 10GB of Vram?

Sorry, I didn’t realise it has been already posted. My point is just that eventually we are going to see more games requiring more than 10GB of VRAM, it’s natural to expect that, given the fact the every new AMD card is equipped with 16GB. That doesn’t mean that you won’t be able to play with a 3070 or a 3080, it will be an ultra texture quality setting that you’ll have to decrease it when playing at 4K.

Exactly. Especially over the next few years there will be games that can push over the 10GB limit at 4k, but it shouldn't be too big of a deal for most everyone.

People who were worried about Godfall on 4k, have you heard the latest news? The GPU usage us generally 6GB and stays below 8GB

Generally, it's enough unless you screw with scaling at 4k or use 8x MSAA (why...MSAA is so performance heavy...just use DSR...) but I do wonder if it'll be enough in the near future.

I've heard a few things about people wondering if 10GB is enough, but has anyone had problems with that?
I think I recall people mentioning problems with 11GB with some cards, but wasn't sure if any limitations were encountered with the 3080 (assuming it has better Vram management or something, I'd like to see/know about reports with this card, instead of reports of other cards with the about the same amount of VRAM)
I know there's only a limited amount of people with 3080 cards atm, but if anyone has encountered problems, or tried to push the VRAM usage as high as possible, to post what the results were.
I barely have any games even allocating 10GB on a 3090. Even the AMD sponsored GodFall whose devs claimed used 12GB of VRAM with their super wicked 4K textures was lying. I think I got up to 8200MB total allocated. Some games may allocate more than that if it's available, but don't require it, and therefore won't affect performance. While 10GB is cutting it close, it's more than enough for anything out right and and will be out for the next year or two.

I don't think the 16GB od VRAM of AMD is nothing else but a commercial argument, they have a serious bandwidth issue for 4K gaming at the moment. Look at how the 3080 gains ground on the 6800XT by increasing the resolution, the 6800XT will have memory bandwidth issue before the 3080 has memory capacity issue...

We could be looking at a true commercial argument by AMD knowing that they had a 16GB card coming out. Posting online that 10GB isn't enough and creating the question would help AMD but if anyone stopped and thinking about it though would realize NVIDIA is king of the graphics card market. Games are going to be built to run well on NVIDIA which means for the next two years built to use under 10GB of video memory.

Honestly 10GB should be fine for the next couple of years. It seems to be a marketing thing sorta like how PCIE 4.0 is being promoted right now.

PCIe 4.0 isn't a bad upgrade. Some were showing a few percentage points difference. Nothing major, I know. But add in a couple things and that could change. First off, overclocked/water cooled cards will push the requirement more. But more significantly, DirectStorage could have a large impact. Right now we're limited in trying to feed data to the cards. CPU handles everything. Reading the file to system memory, then pushing it to the GPU. But with DirectStorage or "RTX IO" as Nvidia brands it, we're looking at the types of data speeds that we seed on PS5/XSX. Think about it this way. A PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe that has read speeds over 7GB/s. PCIE 4.0 x4 = PCIe 3.0 x8. So that would be half of the entire bandwidth available to PCIe 3.0 x16 that the RTX 3090 is already pushing to its limits. So if you wanted to take advantage of full DirectStorage speeds, PCIe 4.0 would be the way to go.

Yep, I can confirm this in GTA V. 3080 XC3 Black. Every setting maxed out I'm just under 7 GB Vram with just FXAA. I'm getting 30 fps barely. 2x msaa and Taa it's right at 10 gigs, literally a 5 fps slideshow. Of course you don't need 4x msaa but I'm at 14 gigs with that. Obviously like 3-4 fps.

After finally getting a 3080 and dialing-in settings for Project Cars 2 and my HP Reverb G1, I can confirm that the 3080 can't get anywhere near max settings in this title and it has nothing to do with vram. It simply lacks the needed GPU horespower to hold 90fps in VR at 4k+ resolution on the G1 I need medum-ish settings to hold 90fps in ideal conditions. (Daylight/dry) Night *or* rain and it chugs with the medium settings but is "playable". Night *and* rain is a stuttery puke-fest with vram allocation under 7gb. In fact, I have not had a Vram issue in AMS2, rFactor 2, AC, ACC or iRacing. ACC is allocating 9gb of vram with barely-playable settings. That's the closest I can get to maxing the vram buffer, and the GPU itself is already running out of steam before settings are turned up to that point. I'm not angry that I have to turn down settings. I expected as much when I bought the card. 4k VR is hard. Current GPU horespower is only capable of so much. Still, my stuff looks noticably better than what my 1080ti could manage. I may hit the vram limit with future titles, but I'm already hitting the limits of what the GPU is capable of right now.

Hi All! I am here quite seldom but decided to read this whole thread from the first post.. and I am surprised how long 'lantern48' was able to handle it... hats off. In my opinion RTX3080/10GB is a good start 4K experience but often at levels that are barely acceptable. It is the beginning of the 4K journey in a gaming world ( read: 4G LTE vs actual 4G ) Not only the 10GB is a limit, but also the horsepower itself. Many think that spending today $1-2K for a video card offers best of the best 4K experience possible. It is somewhat true, but only today - there is nothing better available. But in a year or two the same game will perform much better, and it will also consume (or reserve) more VRAM because it is available, and it will grab as much as it either needs, or can. The assignments are dynamic - so this should not be ANY surprise that at certain times eg, GTAV might want just too much from the available hardware forcing it to its knees... Is RTX3080 enough? Is 10GB enough? well sometimes it is not. And it will ONLY be more of "not enough" in the (near) future... I guess some people spend 1-2K for a GPU and don't want to even allow a thought that "it is not enough for 4K" - it is very often more "pleasant" to believe in a lie or lie to yourself.... truth is: It is FINALLY enough for 1080p ( exception: with RT off lol )

I've never felt that the amount of VRAM a card requires is a question of just matching X amount of memory to Y model GPU. Because the missing part of the equation will always be your display. In my simple minded way of looking at hardware needs, faster display & games = prioritize faster GPU, larger resolution & eye candy = prioritize more memory. If you put in front of me a 4k 75hz display, and a 1440p 144hz display on one side of my desk, and then laid out a 3060 Ti 8gb and the new 3060 12gb on the other, and asked me which card goes with which display, I would pair the 3060 non-Ti to the 4k display and expect it to be better for games like Red Dead and Cyberpunk, and the 3060 Ti with it's faster chip but shrimpy buffer size to the 1440p and expect it to be the better pick for BOps Cold War or Battlefield V. Because one display needs pixels, and the other needs speed. Measuring between eye sugar and wrist twitch. Now that I've had my 3080 long enough to truly wring it out, I feel that 90% of the time, yes 10gb is sufficient for 4k 144hz. Barely. It's just that last 10% of the time, oddities and high demand jobs, like interpolating 30 fps video up to 60, it is not. But that's a productivity function, not a gaming one. I'll not feign some sort of disappointment that it should've been both. Which is why I am disappointed that the 3080 Ti got pushed back outside of my Step Up window, because I now feel a need for double the memory. Just not for gaming. I've been playing BOps II at 4k 144hz with a middling-level of ray tracing eye candy active since I got it, and rarely will it dip below 120 fps, and certainly never below GSync thresholds.

So I was playing Wolfenstein Youngblood and I get an error after each loading screen I have to dismiss that I'm out of GPU memory. Upgraded from a 2080 ti that didn't see these issues. Interesting...my framerate is still higher so I'm not super upset but it's annoying.

You never will at 1440p. Becomes an issue at 4k

They are fine for, as for 3-4+ years in the future, it will probably be a bit problematic on new games.

10 GB on the 3080 should be fine for now. If you really need more VRAM, then maybe wait for the next gen GPUs or get an RX 6000 series card as they do have more VRAM.
