How can you call me a liar, when your own explanation agrees with my statement?
Because it doesnt agree with your statement, and you are trying to twist other people's statement to support yours. MODS are not part of the stock gameplay experience. They are made by the community. For every talented coder there are just as many mods that are poorly optimized, if optimized at all, and it is trivial to break a game by loading it with mod after mod. That is not the fault of the card, because it doesnt matter how much silicon and memory you throw at a problem, you will always be able to throw more software at it as well.
If you drop a turbo into your car and overheat it because the radiator didnt have enough capacity for the increased load, is that the fault of the radiator? No. You modded the application and ran out of capacity, for its designed use case it works perfectly.
First of all, those 2 games with 8gb vram at 4k is just not enough if you want play it nicely.
Citation needed, something that has been asked of you multiple times and you refuse to deliver. (here's a hint, a site with 0 benchmarks or proof of what you are claiming makes you look like a total mong).
I'm not saying they will use 16gb of vram, I'm saying you will have enough free vram space if those games needs that.
Except those games do not need that, that has been proven to you already in this very thread by
@bug, and is readily disproven by casual googling of these very games being played in 4k for reviews and gameplay videos showing them running just fine.
Nobody wants to play a game with stutters and other problems related to not have enough free vram.
Good thing that isnt a problem with any game currently on the market, 8gb is currently sufficient for 4k.
About re2 remake showing memory size usage wrong, I wonder if gpu-z is also showing it wrong then, cause I used gpu-z the last time I saw just to check and windows taskbar manager just to see the usage.
What did you think we were talking about? RE2R "consumes" large amounts of VRAM because it is reserving way more then it actually needs. Much of that VRAM is unused, as is evident by the fact that lower VRAM cards run the game fine without stuttering.
Let me help you here Metroid: you came here making claims that games need more then 8GB of VRAM to play sufficiently in 4k. That has been proven false by information posted by other users. You have yet to post anything that backs up your claims. The burden of proof is on the back of those making claims. That's you.
Since you seem so sure about this, how about you record video on your computer of the games you are talking about, show the settings you are using, run an FCAT test and FPS test for us, use MSI afterburner to verify VRAM usage and FPS results. Shouldnt take more then 10 minutes to run the benchmarks and a bit of time to post the resulting video to youtube. Doesnt need to be edited or anything, just as long as it contains proof of what you are claiming.
