Is running Resolve on 6gb vram possible?

My computer has a NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 with 6gb vram, games run fairly well on it but Resolve seems to struggle a bit. It keeps telling me that the GPU memory is full and video doesn't display in the timeline at all. Is it possible to run the thing on it or should I just give up and move to something more lightweight?

Use software rendering?
I have the same card and have no issues (have had the card for a year). I suspect something else is going on.
- Might be, do you use Windows?
  
  Yes, windows 11 but before that win 10. Are you able to check your gpu in task man while you are running (you can see memory usage).
  
  Are you by any chance doing a lot of compositing in fusion or just straight editing?
  
  Edit: also which version of Resolve are you on?
In case someone finds this post somehow, I ended up using Lightworks instead and it works fine for now. Couldn't get Resolve working, on Linux at least.
I run Davinci Resolve on my surface laptop studio, which runs an RTX 3050 TI which as far as I'm aware only has 4 gigs of dedicated vram, and it runs just fine for me.
