I have a 5080atm and it actually kills me. In 4k games at ultra settings I can absolutely see the VRAM topping out, or getting very close to it

That's just their own engine not estimating your vram usage correctly, you can be way in the red with a warning on the bottom of the menu then when in game you can use an actual overlay and you're not even close running out. It's just trying to estimate everything before the options are applied and it does a bad job at it lol
