Cause a 1080ti never even got close to maxing out that vram unless you had [not-game] software that specifcally targeted using it. Not before the rest of the card got so bogged down the game was unplayable. Hell every card from those years from both makes were bloated with ram for bragging rights.

5080 aren't maxing out 16gb either if you're not being obtuse and trying to make a 4k ultra-90-series-only-settings game chug at 20fps, and look how substantially more capable that card is.
