Not in any games that 8gb vram is crippling

Not in 99% of games it is not.

Tell me you haven't tested stuff without telling me...

OP, yes it should be fine.

1440p with 8gb vram is terrible idea.

It works perfectly fine in 99.9% of games.

This idea that it doesn't is rubbish.

Yeah then don't put Ultra, it's an option not a demand, stupid comment.

I have, many games it works fine.

The ones it won't tend to have optional stupidly high texture packs you can download or if you use a bunch of mods.

This idea that 8FB is suddenly not enough vram is daft and not based in reality, it seems to of come from a bunch of click bait youtube videos being anything but sensible and honest with settings.

I've gone into this too many times with other people, but given that the vast overwhelming majority of gpu's in use have 8GB of less vram and the most likely most bought gpu in a years time will also still have 8GB vram should tell you something.

You clearly have either not tried an 8GB card or have no idea what to do in the settings menu of games.

i go above 10gb vram very often whilst playing with my old 3090

I have a 6700xt (I don't know how good the Nvidia mobile GPUs are, but let's just assume it's as good as the desktop counter part) and it's doing just fine with 1440P, though I don't play the most demanding games.

Your biggest bottleneck will likely be the 8GBs of vram.
More pixels on screen = more vram required

I never play on ultra settings so I dont think it will be a big problem

i checked my benchmarks and forza horizon 5, high settings, shadow quality is LOW, particle effects is medium, and i am using
3.47gb out of 7.08gb
on 1080p laptop

this youtube video shows the ram usage but hes playing on EXTREME settings so thats why it is so high
