GPU memory is the new performance bottleneck, but how much GDDR7 will Micron actually be making?

      … there have been some driver updates since then. And game updates.

      Yeah, as with any pc under roughly $1500-$2000, you’ll be needing upscaling to handle real time raytracing. And frame gen.

      I mean, you’ll generally be needing upscaling and frame gen to handle raytracing at +60fps for any res other than 1080p or lower, within the $1500 - $2000 price range, so I’m not really sure what point you’re trying to make.

          … read my comment again, I updated it.

          Glad you took all of 30 seconds to watch that ~12 minute video.

            I’ve read what you added, and double checked the video to confirm that ray tracing is also turned off entirely.

            I didn’t watch the video in its entirety because your numbers sounded really high for a mid specced system running a game that is notoriously demanding at its highest settings, and you linked it to me saying that the difference was due to game and driver updates. I skipped to the part of the video showing the settings they used (and the performance overlay) to confirm that the settings were different from the article I linked, which would easily explain the difference.

              Ok, noted, I will not discuss budget solutions to maximize your gaming bang for your buck with you again.
