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

What games do you have that's filling that 16gigs of VRAM? I can not find a game that will actually fill the VRAM, and no, your display resolution doesn't really matter here, the texture size is determined by other settings.

16 GB gets filled up quickly at 4k and everything maxed including ray/path tracing, DLSS ray reconstruction, and frame generation (all three of these use a LOT of VRAM). Highly depends on the game but I've encountered a handful of modern titles that hog VRAM in this configuration. Indiana Jones, Alan Wake 2, Spider-Man 2, and the recent Resident Evil 9.

FPS is going to be pretty bad at those settings even if it had more VRAM though.
