I am just thinking about the future here. Got burned with my 2080ti (my own fault.) so I want to avoid needing another upgrade for sometime. I am worried that 2 years in the 3080 won't be able to run AAA titles on 4k max settings. 

I have had a ps4 since 2014 and I have been in love with the graphics on it. I thought it, outside of resolution, it was the best it could get this gen. 
 
Then I built a PC. 
 
Holy Linus' beard was I wrong. 
 
Marvel's Avengers in 4k on Ultra literally made feel like I have been asleep for the past 2 years. I had no idea that there was still such a huge gap in graphical quality. I was anxiously anticipating "Next Gen" Console graphics when they have been on PC the entire time. 
 
People really don't know to what extent they are limited visually on console. Youtube comparison vids don't do it justice. With the announcement of the 30 series rtx cards, it's highly likely that this will continue to be the case with the PS5/SeriesX  
 
I say ALL of this to say, 
 
Holy sh*& PC gaming rocks. 

Yes. Task manager does not show actual usage, it shows you usage as is how much the program is allocating. Only the program running can tell you actual VRAM usage and in most cases it only show you allocation. 
 
Warzone for example tells me VRAM usage is 10.5gb, which incorrect it's allocation.
 
This can be tested next month when the 3070 is available. Similar performance to a 2080ti but with 8gb of VRAM, should mean by everyone's misconceptions that the 3070 with have memory buffer issues and perform worse than a 2080ti.
 
I bet it won't and will allocate 7.5gb of VRAM.

Oh yeah?  

Yeah, so what difference makes a couple of hundred MB when you are super close to hitting the limit @  "medium settings" already anyway, as demonstrated above?
 
This meme really needs to die already and unlike EA, Fortnite, pubg, CSGO... not every game needs to be aimed at running on potatoes.

Just tried the Nightly you linked. Norton not only shut it down but told me to restart my computer. 
 
Oh well. I tried lol 
 
Thank you anyway

Norton itself is a virus. Get rid of it.
 
It's blocking ProcessHacker because it has the ability to inject code into other programs. All antiviruses will detect it as a threat because of this.

!0gbs is enough for vanilla games. 
 
Gamers Nexus as addressed this.  26:00
I only use more on my modded games that use a lot of 8k textures.  Those the game engines are old(Bethesda) and crash a lot if they have to do vram swops.

MSI Afterburner or GPU-Z only report VRAM allocation requested by game, not actual VRAM usage. 
 
I tried this yesterday in Titanfall 2 with max out texture that according to the game need 8GB frame buffer. 

It said the same for my 8GB on a 5700XT... It had no issues.

I was playing RE:2 at 1440p with Max settings and it said I might not have enough vram even with 11GB on my 2080 Ti. 🤷🏻‍♂️ 

You know what I think after I upgrade my ssd and I manage to save up for the 3080, my next goal will be a high refresh rate monitor. 

That's my napkin math on it, based on what I've seen of the tech involved. Should be interesting to see how close to real it comes.

Judging by your build, looks like you have quite a bit of money. I'd get a nice 144Hz monitor like a LG27GL850-B next. The high refresh rate, smoothness and low input lag will blow your mind even more than a visual graphics quality upgrade. After you experienced 144Hz, you won't be able to go back.

That actually reduces VRAM usage significantly, since you don't need lighting or shadow maps. (which usually use about 1/2 as much as textures, apiece)

VRAM used is realistically scaled to the performance of the cars. 2GB is still enough for a GTX 750 Ti. For a 980 Ti, a 1060, and a 1660 Super, 6GB is enough. Nothing is going to need 10GB.  People exaggerate how much VRAM is necessary that it's almost as bad as power supplies.

that is probably not  optimized

what's your spec and display?
 
depending on how you answer, i can give several suggestions that may blow your mind even more

I'd give gaethje a chance but dont see khabib losing. 
 
That's wassup

This is number 1 bullshit. But really I wish to have half the discipline and faith that man has what a guy. 

True. 
 
Btw. Extra points for the classic Khabib gif lol
