Does anyone know why I have 4gb of unavailable VRAM? I have a attached a screenshot of my device settings on an empty scene. I have the same issue on larger scenes. My GPU should have 12gb of VRAM



I have the latest Nvidia studio driver. Let me know if I need to specify other specs

Hi,
how many monitors do you have connected to RTX 3080TI?
A part of unavailable VRAM is also taken by Win 10.

Please also make sure to close Chrome or Adobe apps, since they are probably using the same GPU too.

ciao,
Beppe

Hi Beppe.
I have one ultrawide monitor connected (3440 x 1440)

Okay. Is it normal for Win10 to use up to 5 gb VRAM?

no it isn't. Go to windows settings remove some apps You that automatically start with Your PC, reboot and then check.

do not open any other apps, if You are in other apps at the same time, those could be responsible for usage, so test things out straight after reboot first.
