is the extra VRAM really that beneficial?

[Zeebedy]

i originally ordered a 3080 for my "budget" gaming PC..and I returned and upgraded to a 3090 Aorus Master, mainly because the 24gb VRAM seemed to be more benificial.t is it really going to help a lot against, say, a 3080 with 10gb VRAM?

 

[Zeebedy]

thanks for that. makes sense, i will be running probably around 2K resolution..(2560x1080)..

i got my Arous Master 3090 for a pretty competitive price, so that was a factor too..

 

[Zeebedy]

I have warranty on mine. And cost me a fraction of what number people are spitting out here..

 

[Zeebedy]

Enlighten us then, how much did you pay? Most paid 3090 FE price or more. Also most would have run out of warranty by now no?

i upgraded mine that cost an extra £180. For the 12gb VRAM and about 14% faster performance, all with a 2 year warranty..not too bad.

Sure. But from what though? Go into more detail. Sounds like a rather relatively recent purchase.

Like I could say I upgraded mine that cost £100. That is what happened essentially as I sold my 3080 Ti for £475 and got my 4070 Ti for £575. But you would not know that unless I said so

When did you get it and what was the cost?

I paid in total £600 for my 3090 and have a two year warranty with I tech company (not sure if I can mention competitors name?

 

[Zeebedy]

Cool. When was this? Last year I suppose and not brand new?

Not knocking that by the way. Just saying what I was talking about is msrp prices which is what most people here would have paid.

Personally I would much rather my 4070 Ti brand new with 3 year warranty which I got for £575, but horses for courses
