No. The 2GB is fully dedicated to the OS (so being slow is not a problem here). The games have only 8GB for CPU & GPU logic.
Baldur's Gate III announced!
- Thread starter Cyan
- Start date
The slow pool of ram is still over 50GB/s. That is mostly used by the OS but I believe some additional space was given back to devs in 2022. Likely once they optimized the OS
Microsoft frees up memory on Xbox Series S to "improve graphics performance"
“Hundreds of additional megabytes of memory are now available to Xbox Series S developers"
BG3 requires 8 gigs of system ram + 4 gigs of vram. However windows 10 requires 2 gigs of ram and windows 11 requires 4 gigs of ram to be installed. Then you have to include steam in the ram calculations.
Anyway the incompetence of the devs may help out all gamers in the long run since I am sure MS will be helping them take advantage of newer featurs in rdna 2 like sfs and direct storage which can then be used in the pc build and series x build.
will be interesting to see how it drops off now that the deluxe edition deal is over
I'd love to see you call Larian developers incompetent to their face.The slow pool of ram is still over 50GB/s. That is mostly used by the OS but I believe some additional space was given back to devs in 2022. Likely once they optimized the OS

This is why being transparent isn't good sometimes.
They could have said nothing or just that xbox is coming but not at liberty to give a date yet.
No one would be questioning why, if they did just say staggered releases.
PC then PS then Xbox

Shame they couldn't just hold out coop until later on X|S (if that would fix the S issues). Mrs Cheapchips wants to play it on Xbox, but will have to wait.
Based on 15 yrs of marriage, I fully expect to walk into her laughing hysterically as her character tries to shag a werebear.

Get one of them here and I will tell them that.
Every which way would have been bad for them except releasing on all 3 platforms at the same time or pc first and then xbox/ps at the same time.
If they said nothing and didn't give a date for xbox people would have assumed it was never coming out and interest for xbox players would have been non existant
If they said it was coming later people would have assumed sony bought exclusivity or that they didn't think xbox gamesr were very important.
I think the choose the worse way however by generally pointing a finger at the series s which is already a hot button topic. It isn't doing them any favors with the xbox fans. It also questions their competency as developers. In the end this is going to harm their brand on xbox the most.
Even their messaging with the steam deck and co-op is just handled so poorly.

In my humble opinion, possibly best game ever!
I'm 30h in, and there is just so much stuff to do, and great characters / voice acting. I would say it resembles Dragon age origins but just does it better.
Further, the graphics are quite amazing. I was worried that my 970 would need to run on some very low settings, but it defaulted to ultra settings and it somehow works. (at 30 fps, which I usually play at) There has been a few crashes, but overall the game seems very polished, I suspect they used the three years of early access well!
Perhaps their "good enough", is not the same with the "good enough" of the people that post a random screenshot of the game running @ around 30fps on steam deck.
Perhaps they really need a summer vacation.
Perhaps they should release the game a few months later for everyone to the detriment of their success, so as not to alienate the people that make a living by fabricating drama through sensationalism.
I could go on.

Duplicate, please delete.
3 times more console so 3 times more sales potential
Thanks. GTX970 should crush a steamdeck so I'd think if it can run on steamdeck it can run on that. I recently upgraded from a GTX970 to a RTX4070 and while it is a tremendous upgrade I was surprised after getting back into PC gaming how well the GTX970 still holds up.

Baldur's Gate 3 Benchmark Test & Performance Analysis Review
Baldur's Gate 3 is the newest RPG masterpiece by Larian Studios. The graphics are excellent for a top-down isometric RPG and you also get support for DLSS, DLAA and FSR. In our performance review, we're taking a closer look at image quality, VRAM usage, and performance on a selection of modern...
Except that isn't their reasoning and you would know that if you read my posts.
