I will quote from the HU video:

And we've been saying it for years now, this is planned obsolescence and if you can't see it now, well you're probably Nvidia's favourite type of customer.

They don't always get it right, sometimes they change their mind. If the 4060 with 8GB is obsolescence wasn't the 2060 even worse with 6Gb especially as the 2000 series introduced ray tracing which required more memory to run than the 1060 needed at the time with raster?

The 60 class of card is not normally what I would scrutinise. In early 2019 was 6GB a problem? Hmm not sure especially for the 1080p monitors that these users would be sporting.

Its why I am wondering why you quoted my post and used a video I was not referring to..

Can still turn down the settings as the advice was 6 years ago lol




Why was it ok to give the advice 6 years ago to buy a gpu that you needed to turn down settings because it would not have enough vram, but all of a sudden it is bad advice? Why were the people who said that the 2060 didn't have enough vram wrong because they could just turn down the settings but now its bad to turn down settings? I just find the message inconsistent is all

I wouldn't say a period of 6 years is "sudden". Games are different now.

Have you even watched the 8gb card review?

Why is it different now? Some people disagreed with 6GB not being enough VRAM then and they were told to turn down the settings, why are they not being told that now? Yes I saw a 8GB vram review and was told it was great value just like the 6GB vram 2060 was. That advice hasn't held up either

There is stuttering in some games at 1080p medium. Turning down settings isn't a guaranteed fix in all games. They showed this on the frame time graphs.

And yes, having 16g VRAM fixes the issues.

E: modern games, not 6 years ago...

I mean the 8gb 5060ti review, not a 3070 review from 2020. But of course, you knew that.

The advice hasn't held up because technology advances. If it didn't, nobody would ever upgrade their GPU.

Why has the pulse gone up to £659? Meant to be a msrp card at £569.

At least Nitro+ is now the price at which it was available for the first few days. Not exactly amazing though as people have been enjoying theirs for nearly 2 months now and anyone who held off is paying exactly the same and hasn't actually saved anything. Their GPU is worth quite a bit less now second hand too, so actually works out more expensive.
