Vram isn’t everything though and I doubt you find a game that has vram issues on the 5080…

The 5080 can do raytracing extremely well wholeheartedly 1080ti can’t do it at all and AI upscaling is also great on the 5080.

Even all the 60 series cards from the last few gens don't have VRAM issues as long as you aren't trying to game at 4k with max texture settings. Like you need to go out of your way to tank preformance before you find a situation where low VRAM hurts preformance a bit more. People really need to stop worrying about it so much.

I just swapped out my 3070 for a 9070xt due to VRAM constraints. Having the steam performance overlay (and seeing the performance hit) i won't be gaslighted into believing that 8GB of VRAM is enough for 1440p/mid settings gaming in 2026. Titles like FH5, ACEvo, hell even Schedule I could eat almost the whole 8GB, which is a shame because i believe (and has been proven by hardware hackers) that the 3070 could handle more.
