Watch's AMD's Radeon RX 6000 Series Reveal Here

[AngryGoldfish]

Actually that is not where it all comes from. It happened to me with the GTX 470 also. A card I retired for no other reason than it not having enough VRAM.

I'm not going to keep doing this to death. I am allowed, nay, entitled my opinion and that's it. I didn't anywhere say that anyone should listen to me, nor do I care if they do or don't. It seems to be an opinion shared by many reviewers, but it was mine before they even said anything. We are about to take a big leap in gaming for many reasons, and I just don't think it will be enough for 4k which is what this card should be based on the tier level of performance. I don't find that unreasonable.

I also feel that as I type this (again with no crystal ball) that it's overkill for 1440p. That's all. I am allowed that opinion too.

I have often said I would rather have seen this card with more VRAM at a higher price. I also retain that opinion too. Probably because I don't often upgrade my GPUs, so even as a paid for safety net I would have preferred it to be there. Again, I am entitled to feel that way.

As for AMD? tbh? it wasn't AMD who made those claims. It was every one with their opinions. And, their opinions turned out to be wrong. No, being faster (the memory itself) does not mean it can break the physics of how games load into and out of VRAM and make magic things happen. That is the crap being spread around at the time by reviewers. "It's more than enough because it's so fast !". Well guess what? that opinion was wrong.

TBH? if people didn't continue arguing with me over it then I would stop posting about it. It just seems that every one (not including you in this) just wants to be right when tbh? they have no idea whatsoever what the future holds. And it is because of this that I find the stingy amount of VRAM this card possesses to be just that, stingy. Especially when going back a few generations the cards had the same.

Yeah, you're right, I'm sorry mate. I don't want you to feel like you can't or shouldn't say what you think. I wasn't very kind, sorry.

Yeah sorry if I came across as a little harsh before, it just seems like the same conversation with the same points keeps appearing over and over with no real progress because the underlying differences in opinion on the matter are born out of each of our personal preferences/needs on a number of other things.

8gb just about enough for 1440p, not enough for 4k. 6gb barely enough for anything, dropping settings has a huge impact visually.

I watched a full review of the game itself yesterday, and they said it wasn't even a true next gen title. It was kind of a mixture between last gen and next gen visually.

I'm not doing this to upset any one. Just please, know what the limitations are before you rush out and buy a GPU. The biggest issue with running out of VRAM is your performance either falls off a cliff, or, the game will simply crash, BLSOD or whatever else.

It's just such a shame. The 3070 could have been the champ this round by quite a long way, yet it is hampered at 4k already. 2gb more? it would have totally been a full 4k card.

I really don't understand why Nvidia did that. Well, I do, but it just sucks. They are obviously railroading you into a 3080 if you want 4k. Which would be fine if you could get one, or, even get one at close to RRP. Sadly you can't.

So 4k still isn't what I would consider to be an affordable option for all. Sigh, roll on next gen I guess.

Alien you just said you were not going to keep doing this to death and that if people stopped arguing with you that you would stop posting about it.

These two just apologized to you and took some blame while dropping the conversation.

Now you continue the conversation? Why not just let it go? Everyone already made up their minds? There's no need to get the last word in and continue it after it ended dude.

I think you misunderstand. You seem to think I am on this "I AM RIGHT" rant. I am not.

The apologies were for being a bit pointy toward me. I get that, that's fine. It doesn't mean we cannot end the conversation there though.

Believe it or not? I care. Quite a bit as it goes. I wouldn't bother otherwise. So maybe in future when you see me posting you should pay attention to it, rather than immediately getting annoyed and casting it off as me trying to annoy you.

The whole "argument" if it even were one, is about trying to predict what is coming. It's all speculative dude.

You are the one who called it an argument. Not sure why you need to use quotations lol

However you want to feel about me being bothered by it is whatever to me. This is my first time posting in the thread. Only here to say RELAX and stop arguing. Getting the last word in after they backed out isn't necessary.

Good day now, only pointing out one thing. I did that. No reason for me to be involved any longer.

It's not an argument. At all. The quotations are to show that it isn't. IE, using a word non literally hence the quotations. I don't want it to be an argument.

I could be totally wrong. Maybe I am in ways already? that's fine. No one is correct all of the time. What I mean is? the true next gen games could totally bomb GPUs now any way, so the 4k argument could be irrelevant given they may not have the horse power.

I am perfectly relaxed.
