manashttu Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 Using the new Afterburner GPU.dll plugin, did some testing on my triple 1440p setup (7770x1440--that's 11+ million pixels...3 more than 4k) on my 1080ti. The standard VRAM monitor showed all 11gb of VRAM allocated in the F-14 Turkey takeoff in the Syria map. Using the process VRAM monitor, putting it on 2x MSAA, high textures, and Extreme draw distance, flying over the most intense part of the city---it's actually using 9,395 mb of VRAM. This is encouraging information---as I was eyeballing the 10gb 3080 (whenever it actually is available)---but have been concerned about VRAM. This pretty much worst case shows the 3080 should be fine and 3090 would be a bit of overkill. A 16gb 3080ti would be nice. Intel 8700K, delidded at 5.1 ghz, Asrock z370 Extreme4, 32gb DDR4 3200, MSI Ventus RTX 3080, triple 1440p Dell s2716dg screens, VKB Gunfighter Mk.I, Virpil M50-CM2 throttle, MFG Crosswind pedals.
