The thing is fucking $270 USD, that's not a budget 1080p card, that's just a shit overpriced card that can only handle 1080p because it sucks.

I've given up on gayming. Nothing is optimized. There is no point in ever upgrading your hardware because they'll just won't optimize it so your top hardware can't run it either.
Get 20gb of ram and they'll demand 40gb of ram. Get 40gb of RAM and they'll say ''oh cool, you have 40gb of RAM? I'll just make the Windows clock require 40gb of RAM''
I am done.

As a kid you wish you could one day get a PC that could run Crysis. Then you get there, and then you get an even better PC and better, and now your PC can't run flash games.
Upgrading your hardware is a humiliation ritual. It will never be enough. More processing power and more memory means less work for devs so they just waste your hardware.

Insane cope. Steam shouldn't be doing fucking anything if you are not actively using it. It should be 1mb of RAM at best when you don't have it open and you are not looking at it, just for some functionality in case someone sends you a message or something.
When you open it, then it makes sense that it would keep the store page in the RAM, mostly just jpegs of the icons.

Future proofing is a meme now that devs are going to have to target 8 gigs of VRAM for the next decade due to the SHIT 2 and the Gabebox. There probably won't even be a new Xbox and the PS6 is going to have to wait for memory prices to come down if they don't want to sell it for $1500.

I gave up on AAA gaming because the graphics get worse but the system requirements keep climbing up. I switched to playing games on a laptop so I can just chill in my bed.
I only play indie games now. And now the bloat is coming for indie games. I played Hades and it was a good game. Tried Hades 2 and even though it's identical to the first game, you can't even run it if you don't have 16gb of RAM. The game won't even launch. A fucking isometric 2D game with jpegs with a maximum of 10 low polygon enemies on screen and 2D jpeg effects needs 16gb of RAM just to launch.

It is when they're not scaling up production to match.

>>
>>728557667
Government owns all production.
With no competitor they can lower all wages.
With lower wages people start to do under the table business.
That brings corruption to the table, expecially in essential services like doctors, police and bureaucrats.
Soon enough you can only benefit from those services by corrupting officials.
If they do it then everyone else does it.

the only cards with more than 16GB VRAM that aren't fucking literal compute cards, are the 4090, 5090, and the 7900 XT or XTX.

The only reason you need more than 16GB is to play 4k at a high refresh rate. The 5090/4090 can't do it, the 7900 XTX can't do it, and the XT sure as shit can't either, considering the 5080 outperforms both with less VRAM. Next gen it might matter but for now? You're fine. Shit is absolutely fucked in the near term and won't recover for a while if at all, though.

Also most ue5 slop will get pretty close to that 32gb limit, especially if the rest of your system is beefy enough to improve setting, to the point that you'd need to clear out background programs just in case.
t. 128gb ram and regularly use 40+ just on modded games.

Because games prioritize vram first, then system ram. if your game passes your vram budget, it massively hitches as it starts to use regular ram for the overflow. You're better off with 12gb of vram and 16gb of ram than 8gb of vram and 32gb of ram if all you do is game

>>728583429
I really don't use much when recording, but when I start mixing and just begin throwing plugins on any and every track/folder I can it can begin to climb pretty quickly. I just switched over to check for you and if I open up 2 projects (acoustic songs with vocals maybe keys/bass but no drums or electric guitars etc. to layer) it was nearing 24gb of usage. I also used to like to keep reaper open in the background 24/7 so if I went into Blender or a game or something I didn't want to have to worry about closing and reopening large projects. I think I went from a 32 or 64gb system to the 128 after a few years of usage so it wasn't always necessary but sometimes a project can have like 200 VSTs or some bullshit loading in and you don't want any slowdown type of issue where you'd have to render the song to even hear your differences without a stutter.

Given that I upgraded from a 3090, I assure you I'm not. Blackwell architecture and drivers are better than Ampere and its drivers. You're probably just getting jewed by Nvidia on Ampere cards with them deliberately undercooking driver updates to push 50XX card sales thoughbeit.

How does you spending money on some "new" card that just seems to do as well as the old one make YOU trustworthy?

This sounds like obfuscation.

>>728585386
No, I think you are lying to me or fudging things because you like the shinier toy.

You keep shifting stuff around and it sounds like going above a 30 series is unironically a waste of money for actual performance.

why else would you shift from talking about performance to talking about the drivers, to talking about something involving coping over "not doing homework"?

If the powers that be actually throw us a bone for once, the RAM shortage might push devs to optimize for once and you'll end up getting several more years worth of mileage out of it. Which is a good development in itself anyway on multiple fronts.

Like we seriously see shitposters act smug over 64 GB being the absolute minimum that's acceptable when it should've never been like that in the first place. Baseline OS and application resource usage should've never gotten more heavy than Windows XP.

Good job anon. I said more than 16GB of VRAM, not cards that have it. Not that it matters, the 5080 is a ripoff and they're not making the super because of the RAM shortage.
>>728596117
the actual performance was probably shit, honestly. Still could be a fun experiment

That's because Epic and Microsoft game launchers just plain fucking suck. GOG somehow has a significantly better launcher than both

Is 16GB insufficient for gaming?

Sure you aren't. Whats your best mile time? Can you even run a mile?

>>728601517
Fuck no, games are limited by VRAM not regular old ram, 16gb is fine unless you are doing something else intensive in the backround

it's all the fault of poojeets, offshoring, and outsourcing. windows itself eats 4GB+ of RAM. it's preposterous.

I couldn't play BF6 and that has been the first well optimised AAA in a long time for a repetitive franchise. Stole my brothers ram now at 32 and latest games are playable.

>>728553759
OP, this is kinda ironic because you're the bigger problem for having epic games launcher installed on your pc.

I don't know, I don't understand it either. I think 1080p is perfectly fine, and honestly I'm glad we reached a standing.
