Not on the 4080. If you click into the article they have charts showing that its performance is better than the 3090 Ti, a card that has 24 GB of VRAM, and that it’s just a reasonable amount worse than the performance of the 4090.

If it’s using 17 GB on the 4090, a card that has 24 GB of VRAM, then that doesn’t mean it would fail to run on a card that has 16 GB of VRAM. It just means that when running on a 16 GB card, it’ll have to be a bit more aggressive at clearing the least useful data out.

Assuming that a game using more VRAM on a card that has more VRAM means it’s unplayable on a card with less VRAM is like assuming that because Google Chrome uses 17 GB of RAM on a PC with 32 GB of RAM means it’s unusable on a PC that only has 16 GB of RAM.
