Thanks for the heads-up on that proper comparison video.

As for the other matter then it’s hard to say if DF’s motives are pure or otherwise given that they’ve previously done sponsored videos for other big companies (Nvidia, Microsoft and more) and that Dead Space’s publisher, EA, is a major paying advertiser on Eurogamer and its parent company Gamer Network.

I think the RTX3080 was also VRAM limited at 1440p, but not nearly as much compared to 4K, so hybrid data transfer (to system RAM over the PCIe bus) was still fast enough to make up for the “missing” VRAM.

There’s also huge difference between 8GB and 10GBs in some current games. For example in far cry 6 (techpowerup benchmark) RTX3080 10GB has over 2x more fps than RTX3070ti, witch has “only” 2GB VRAM less.

DLSS runs games at lower resolution, therefore VRAM requirements are also lower. I looked at the gameplay of the remake on the RTX3080 10GB and this game was extremely VRAM limited at 4K (8-10fps), but by enabling DLSS jumped to over 60fps.

Agree. What’s more, in my opinion, this x360 version (720p) is actually a disguise for the age of dead space. This game looks a lot more dated when running on my 1440p monitor, as all the high quality textures and low poly models just stand out, while 720p mask these imperfections.

Lower resolution = lower VRAM usage is the rule of thumb.
