vram.

[Michael Durrant]

is 12-16gb vram acceptable in 2025 for new cards or not. todays demanding hardware on aaa games most cards from nvidia is low vram. would like to see new cards with more than what they are at currently, especially seeing the 5080 being only 16gb

I think it will be for 2025, beyond that who knows. PS5 only has 16gb (shared).

It's important to note that just because a game will use more than (say) 12gb VRAM, doesn't mean it needs it. Similar to how upping your power limit on your GPU will see it use that budget, but not gain much more performance.

I agree though, going from a gen where AMD's cards had 16, 20 and 24, and Nvidia's upper offerings having 16 and 24, it does seem stingy to not increase that for this gen. It looks more and more like the 5000 Super series will be what everyone wanted from this release.

As always though, 3rd party benchmarks will be revealing.

im still running amd. i dont know if i want to go nvidia or stick with amd at this point, from this dlss, fg stuff i keep seeing. holding on to see these benchmarks in a few weeks (be interesting, especially the 5090 results)...

Here we go again, another is my vram enough thread, like clockwork

i must have not seen the other threads!
