Game can't run on 12 GB Vram at 4K

[danygia]

Every GPU with 16 GB is safe but it will be impossible to play this game on under 16 GB Vram GPUs at 4K max settings. Native 4K runs out of Vram from the very beginning, i just refunded the game for this. Now i also discovered that the game would have been unplayable even at 4K DLSS quality because the Hivemind boss battle requires 14 GB Vram on a 6900 XT even with FSR 2.0 Quality enabled. 3080 and 3080 TI are ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ trash cards and can't run a game at 4K resolution because of their poor Vram. Ampere generation except 3090 is low end spec expecially for upcoming next gen games. It's a pain in the ass having to lower settings and / or resolution because of memory leaks.

True, I have an RTX 3080 with only 10gb and I it’s safe to say this card is a fraud and Nvidia should be sued for this.
It’s a misleading marketing strategy that forces people to upgrade to a 40xx gpu.
Nvidia probably also made deal with EA to have their game use more VRAM on purpose to boost their sales.

PC gaming like the gaming industry is just hungry for money. the GPU you buy today will be no good in a 3 years . RIP

That was the reason, why i upgraded my 1080ti to a 6900XT.

After the 1080ti already had 11GB, I didn't understand why the 20XX series was delivered with 8GB or the 30XX series with 10GB.

Total nonsense!

I'm worse off. I have a 3070. On horsepower alone, the card can handle 4K in game pretty well. but the 8GB of VRAM borderline cripples it.

Rather than making me want to drop money on the overpriced 40 series, I'm keeping my eye on the 7900XTX, or at least wait till 50 series to see if Nvidia pulls it's head out of it's ass on pricing. Until then, I have a PS5 that will work well enough.

That's the thing I don't like about nVidia cards, they tend to shortchange you when it comes to VRAM size. Even IF the card is powerful enough to run a game at 4K, like the RTX 3080 Ti, the 12GB VRAM on it is what hampers it in newer and newer games that chew up VRAM.

I understand that due to the memory bus interface used, memory size doubles, like 6GB doubles to 12GB, and 12GB doubles to 24GB. So, from a marketing point of view, having a 24GB RTX 3080 Ti would effectively kill the RTX 3090/3090 Ti.

I have both 16GB and a 24GB AMD cards, and even the former (RX 6900 XT) would more than suffice at 3440x1440, even 4K to some extend as long as the GPU can handle the game engine well enough.....like COD MW II.

I'm playing at 4K with an RTX 2080 Ti 11 GB just fine with everything maxed. I do have DLSS on. When your GPU runs out of memory then your system RAM is used for the rest. I have 16GB 3200Mhz DDR4 in dual channel. I don't see how you were unable to play this game when I'm far into it having fun.

For extra information my CPU is the i7-8700K at stock clock and I'm on Windows 10 using the newest NVIDIA driver. I'll report back to this thread if I suddenly have a terrible performance issue later. So far I'm having a pretty good experience.

Yes, the GPU will allocate ram to make up for vram. It's no where near as fast as GPU Ram. Your system has to be hitching when it switches to ram. your GPU speed is 616.0 GB/s while your ram is 3.2GB/s. big difference there so you must not be noticing it or choose not to care.

I experienced the Vram issues in various games.

Dead Space,
Flight Simulator
Resident Evil 8
A plague tale Requiem
Witcher 3 HD

FPS just drops to 5 and you're done.

So yea... good luck with Resident evil 4 Remake for people like me with a 3080 card with 10gb @ 4k resolution.

I'm always in the red on memory use when playing the newer Resident Evil games and they still play fine. I know I'm using some system RAM when I'm in the red. I have exceeded dedicated GPU RAM at that point. That is why so many people think the RE memory page is bugged. It's not bugged. They really did exceed GPU VRAM and offloaded to system RAM. The game would just crash if it didn't offload some of the work to system RAM. It's really a problem if you also exceed system RAM because then you start using page file on your SSD or HDD. lmao

I'm also playing this Dead Space Remake on my WD Black HDD even though they recommend using an SSD. It's just not as serious as so many people want to make it out to be. I notice rare hitching when walking into an area. It's very minor and doesn't bother me. Most of the gameplay is smooth.

[Cuddle Bunny!]

In 2023 if you don't have 24 gig of vram you should go back to console.

[SurrealDeal]

Most people on PC don't even play at either 1440p or 4k.

Yeah so you do have the same issues as us. You just tolerate where others won’t. Regardless of how you feel. AAA studio shouldn’t be pushing out this type of quality for 60-70$ dollars.

[Slim_Cognito]

They should really up the VRAM on cards. 2023+ is when all the new gen games start coming out and 12gb vram isn't gonna be enough anymore for 4k. It might not even be enough for 1080p users when games like GTA6, Elder Scrolls 6, and the next Fallout game comes out especially modded for the latter 2.

[Coup d' oeil]

I have a 4090 and see it sometimes over 13 gigs at 4k RT TAA. Said to myself that's why I brought it.

[Wurst Kaese Szenario]

No, sorry, but you bought these card because you like to steal other people's power reserves and have too much superfluous money.
