Was your game on hdd or ssd as mine was on hdd and when i moved it to ssd it ran butter smooth and i'm using 2070 super for that.well i invest to play at ultra and yes games allocate more and forza horizon 5 kept warning of low memory when maxing at 1080p on 3060ti to the point the game started artifacting after 20-30mins of gameplay on 3060ti and rx6600 with 10-12gb it ran fine upto 4k maxed...when looking for a new card its always good to understand where tech is headed before investing.
