Twinblade★ 3,909 Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 Holy fuck Im seriously considering not buying any more multiplats on PC for the remainder of this gen Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Twinblade★ 3,909 Posted April 21, 2023 Author Share Posted April 21, 2023 For the longest time I would randomly get these massive frame rate drops in some of the games I played and they would continue to run that poorly for a good 10-30 seconds before returning to normal. I just figured it was the result of the ports not being good, or my habit of just cranking the settings high and I just kind of brushed them off even though they were definitely annoying. Now I know exactly what was causing them.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FIREPOWER 721 Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 Damn, that's wild. Customers paying the price for Nvidia's stinginess with VRAM. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sugarhigh 519 Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 Extra weird bc Nvidia has a stranglehold on AI acceleration which needs hella vram. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hot Sauce 2,729 Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 The 6800 was faster than the 3070 even without the perceived limit of 8GB of VRAM in 2023, so the comparison is already pretty silly. There are two pretty gross outliers in Hogwarts and Last of Us, while the rest are largely within that 10-15% difference we saw between the two at launch. You're being dramatic refusing to buy PC ports using this video as evidence because there's nothing about it to warrant that kind of reaction. The possibility that any game can just be outright broken due to VRAM limitations is shitty, but it's not like you can't mess with settings to see performance boosts with minimal effects on quality. I'd be way more interested in that kind of comparison than this video. Are Hogwarts/Last of Us still disasters if you drop settings from ultra to high? Medium? Just dropping down textures? What fixes VRAM issues in these two games? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jehurey 3,230 Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 That's fine, all that's needed is for developers for major multiplatform games that are released from major publishers to simply make optimizations for the PC plat........oh, nevermind. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Built on UE4 and having enough high quality textures to take up 150gb of hard drive space sounds like a crippling combination. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Casual 731 Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 glad i went with the 12gb but yeah this is pretty lame. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The 6800 is going for less than the 3070 Ti on Ebay and r/hardwareswap. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I did briefly think about selling the 3070Ti and then just upgrading to a 4070 but then my fucking car engine died and now I have to do everything I can to save money...

Maybe it'll be a blessing and you'll see a small price cut on the 4070 considering it doesn't seem to be selling all that well. Or maybe the rumors are wrong and Nvidia won't just release a glorified 3070 Ti 3 years later and call it a 4060 Ti.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Playstation Tablet 1,725 Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 (edited) I got a 3050, I play on medium settings dropping to 900p for the framerate benefits. Seems to work fine, but I only played cross gen XBox games. If Series S can do it then your PC sure as Fuck can, but I get all multiplats on PS5.
