In some games its just cache allocation, but not all games.
Unity pretty much uses what it need to, as in if you try to run it at max settings on a 3gb gpu, it will show severe vram stuttering, where it will be fine on a 4gb gpu.
I played all those memory hungry games @ 1080p with 3gb vram and no stutter issue because of 3gb vram limit, by some I had extra msaa.

Im talking about Unity specifically here - did you run that game at max settings without ANY stuttering? If so, id like to see some video or graph proof of that (graph being of frametimes while playing it).

I play it with FXAA, rest ultra, shadows high. And it ran smooth while I was in chase mode or during cut scenes, ok cut scenes had fps drops but that's because of uber DOF..
And in record there are some minor fps hickups, not happening while Im playing normally.. Just saying.

Now if you go troll but its not MSAA, well no single gpu can really play it fine with MSAA, its to demanding.

Is using high shadows and fxaa using maxed out settings? No.
Msaa will increase the vram consumption by quite alot, and make you stutter like a beaten dog, due to the 3gb framebuffer - fps here is irrelevant, but frametime spikes Arent. Your fps might hit 30 with 4 msaa (which would be fine for the purpose of this test), but your frametimes would with 100% certainty spike over 100 ms.
And i specifically asked you to monitor frametimes graphs, but you have that disabled in the AB overlay -_-
