So we got a winner for most inefficient use of VRAM in a game ever created. I don't even know how it possible they manage to make a game at 1080p be VRAM limited on a 10GB card.

That's the weird thing though. It's not actually Vram limited...

Even at 4k, it's using less than 10GB of Vram. I think this is an artificial performance gimp from Gearbox as they gotta make AMD gpus look better with 16GB of vram since it's an AMD sponsored title. Otherwise it doesn't make sense because the 3090 is very similar to a 3080 with the main difference being the Vram capacity. There will be some games that showcases the 3090s lead sure but not by this amount.

I truthfully not sure I believe those are usage numbers and not allocated numbers.  Maybe they doing something like allocate X percentage of VRAM and then that the only VRAM they give the game access to while playing. 

I would love to see the VRAM usage for the 3080.  If it something like 3500MB that would let us know that it doing something like that.
