Question3080 operating with 8GB VRAM
Question3080 operating with 8GB VRAM
It’s a Dell OEM 3080 that only works with 8GB VRAM in Task Manager, GPU-Z, or games.
I’ve tried reseating it, changed PCIe slots, used DDU, and reinstalled drivers, but it still doesn’t reach 10GB VRAM as expected.
The product ID, GPU bios, TMUs, and ROPS all point to a 3080.
Also, I’m not having any problems in gaming or high-demand tasks, except for the missing 2GB of VRAM.
I found one other discussion about a similar problem on this site, but it didn’t provide any solutions.
I’m looking for help or suggestions here, thank you!
It might be wise to move the suspected compromised GPU to a different functional system. If that device shows the same VRAM capacity (such as 8GB), it suggests the card may have been affected. While using GPU-Z, check the VBIOS version on your motherboard at this stage.
