Partly because pure DX12 games requires more VRAM and RAM management than DX11 (which had the driver handle it), DX12 also consumes more VRAM by default, If developers don't put the work necessary to properly manage all of this, VRAM consumption will and does explode.
Thanks, plan to sell rtx 3070 and buy 4070ti has been shelved.Frame generation, at least on DLSS3, seems to require more VRAM. So even if 4070Ti can max out Cyberpunk at 4k60 with DLSSQ + FG, it starts stuttering due to running out of VRAM.
4090 can get 4k60 with native+FG but the VRAM requirements start nearing 16GB, or even higher if you're using texture mods.
I didn't play it enough to judge it , is it that good? To me what makes Legacy is that its an open world setting. To be fair I hated Callisto because animations looked jank. They really nailed the combat in H:Legacy. Even filler missions are a joy simply because I want to cast some spells and do some combos. This reminds me of playing Arkham City just to beat thugs here and there lol.
DirectStorage really needs to be a baseline design choice for it to really gain significant RAM usage advantages. It will completely change how you do memory management.
But why should they, if the mantra of "RAM is cheap, 32 GB is baseline" becomes cemented in PC gaming space? Even thanks to this game I've seen hundreds of posts people jumping the ship to 32 GB RAM and say that alleviated their stuters andp erformance profile. Probably thousands of people have already jumped ship thanks to this one single game. More and more will jump the ship as games start to struggle big time on 16 gigs.
To be fair, 16GB has been long in the tooth for PC gamers, I know a lot of decade old PCs with old CPUs which have 16GB of DDR3 RAM and a fast GPU (myself included), time to upgrade these PCs and a 24GB or 32GB of RAM sounds fair these days considering the demands of the OS and the demands of the new gen.
That's the benefit of igpu, I suppose
Why should they? Cuz they're already doing it on consoles and would obviously prefer to carry over work from there instead of trying to make it work in a very different way on another platform if at all possible. And once the necessary engine changes are made and everything, it really makes for less headaches for developers in terms of I/O optimizations and everything, which are one of the major problems they run into.
I'd love to see a Discworld game with this level of fidelity.Turns out the game supports NVIDIA ansel, and you can even use super resolution shots. Imo this game is peak UE4.
@orangelupa I feel like 8 GB at 1440p can weather the storm for 1-1.5 more year without ray tracing + reduced texture quality (not blob textures, but good enough textures). Then maybe NVIDIA will decide to grace proper 16 GB buffer to a 5070.
