Are you using Developer Mode or made changes in it?

Yes and no changes

Have you disabled/removed all your mods and addons?

Yes

Brief description of the issue:

I am an user of a Nvidia RTX3080Ti and MSFS Developer tools show i have 11GB of VRAM instead of 12GB.
I confirmed it with another 3080Ti user and they had the same thing displayed.
I’m not sure if it actually caps to 11GB within the sim or if it’s just displaying it wrong.

Some VRAM is needed by the operating system; you can’t allocate all of it to the game.

yeah i probably read this wrong.
VRAM allocation and process usage probably instead of full system usage and cap.
