12GB is fine for now but until a few months ago everybody thought 8GB was.
Yes 10Gb, you said TLOU was fixed but after the last patch I cant increase settings, I'm still vram limited, with 12Gb I'd be increasing settings.
I think the 7900XT is better value even though I still think its over priced, your getting 34% more perf at 1440p and 39% more at 4k + 8gb more VRAM so will definitely age better.
he is a moron I believe.
The comment was in relation to a fellow 3080 owner pointing out higher requirements in new titles-TLOU being one of them and you saying it's been 'fixed', that fix never fixed anything on the 3080.But thread is about the 4070 which has 12gb. You can always sell your 3080 and add like £100 or less and get a brand new 4070
Game uses less than 12GB VRAM at 3440x1440 max settings DLSS Quality, even with Native it was under 12GB after the patches max settings. the game is still CPU unoptimised though so regardless of your GPU, the framerate will be similar between say a 12GB 3080/Ti and a 24GB 4090 - I know this because I have both.
Reality is replacing the 3070 is where the 4070 is at, a good deal it still is not.
I finished it @4k native 65" QD OLED on a mix of low to ultra settings to keep it within 10Gb as upscaling had halo effects(don't know if you notice it on smaller panels), what an experience, can only imagine how much better it would have unfolded if I hadn't watched it first-story telling at it's finest.
You're not wrong, the performance increase is poor, but that's your only choice unless you want to spend £200 more for the same 12Gb.
What you're essentially describing is planned obsolescences.We will soon see I guess. I personally think 12gb will be fine until next gen is out. Just like I thought 10gb was fine last gen until this gen was out.
Next gen 16GB will be the minimum needed however. My opinion anyway
Did ever in the history of GPUs a 3 year old mid range card manage to play games at ultra settings in the heaviest of titles? Like, EVER? Pascal was considered a very good GPU generation, the 1080ti was struggling to get 60fps at 1080p in 2018 and 2017 games - when it was actually brand new. I know, cause I had it. I played RDR2 (a 2018 game) at glorious 17-19 fps @ 4k. 1080p could just about average mid 50ies. And that wasn't the heaviest of games, watchdogs 2 and ghost recon were much heavier.
Even £500 is far to much for a performance level that last gen would have sat between a 3060 and 3060ti so around £350. No 70 card has ever lost to the previous gen 80.
Τhat comparison is flawed. What you are basically saying is that if 3080 was a terrible card that would make the 4070 better. Let's say hypothetically the 3080 only matched the 2080 in performance. That would make the 4070 much faster than the 3080. Does that suddenly change the value proposition of the 4070? NOPE.
