This. games in high and ultra graphics settings have almost no difference, i can play any game in 1440p with my RTX 3070 smoothly just by adjusting one or two graphics settings.
Really we need to push microsoft to release a new direct x 12 or direct x13, the newest one (direct x 12 ultimate) is so unoptimized for gpus, all of your utilization goes onto the cpu and vram, producing less frames and increasinf vram usage, alone with stressing the cpu which is usually already processing tons of other services while you're gaming. If microsoft can get direct x under control, then we wont have to worry about future proofing as much, and sure as hell wont consider 12 gbs of vram to small. Realistically, 8gb should exceed the expectations for qhd gaming, 16 gbs for gaming cards shouldn't be a concern.... especially at the prices were looking at currently....
Got the 6800xt from a 3060ti didn’t even cost much to upgrade and it performs a lot better at 1440p higher bandwidth more compute units and 16gb of Vram. Going to use it until this Christmas and maybe sell it for a 7900GRE and it would be cheap to upgrade again. Big brain moves gents
@@JahonCross no the 7800XT, the 6800 xt is still a really good option though. It’s just that usually newer gpus have worse price to performance compared to last gen, but actually AMD priced the 7800XT at almost the exact same as a 6800XT so it’s actually worth it to buy
I bought my 7900xtx for around $800 pre-owned. Listen when i say this thing is amazing, on 4k maxed settings im still pulling ~140 fps on AAA games. I believe it is currently ranked as the 3rd best gpu at the time of writing.

Immediately returned it and got a rog strix oc 4080 and am blown away by just how much better it is than the 7900 xtx
I got told I was being dramatic when I bought my 7900 XTX 7 months ago for basically this reason, it's nice to hear others acknowledging the absurdity of what we need to consider for future proofing right now
And the only reason is, because the big AAA companies cant be asked to properly optimise their games. There is no way, you should be having to build a 2-3k gaming PC, just to play 1440p...
@roarbahamut9866 oh I agree, but yet here we are in a world that is happy to see an end to native optimization in favor of frame generation and whatever other shortcuts can be jammed into the games being produced. At least I'm extra prepped in case this blows up in their face within the next year or 2 and we go back to normal expectations
The 6700XT is still the best entry-level 1440p card (in my opinion), as it can be found at a steady $250 used, in some cases I've seen it drop to $220 which is honestly a huge W.
Not just your opinion it still is if a base Rx 6700 can do med high ( sometimes just high ) settings 60fps on 1440p on intensive games the Rx 6700XT/50XT can do better

Radeon has also the 7900 GRE .... you could not overclock it .... but with the recent update you CAN overclock. And is only 10% more expensive than the 7800 XT.

I bet if you went 850 watts tho instead of 1000 you’d be totally fine, I just went a bit over to be safe and the price difference was negligible. I hope this helps!
If you're in the PC Gaming arena. You've got to recoup the value of your used GPU towards a new one. I went from a 1070 Ti, to a 3070, returned that, got the 4070 Ti, sold that, got a 4080. All cards except the 4070 Ti were used. I play @1440p 144Hz and have no plans of doing 4K on a PC monitor.
I'm coming out of the left by buying an Intel A770 (16GB VRAM)... I got it for a steal off ebay, and it performs better than most people think due to lots of good driver optimizations and more games using DirectX12
I kinda disagree, the increased vram requirements are a consequence of the new gen consoles which aren't gonna be using more than 12gb as Vram so it should be fine till the next gen. As most games aren't gonna be including textures that the PS5 can't use. For example in 2014 everyone was freaking out that shadow of mordor required 6gb at ultra, people claimed that it would only go up and 8gb wouldn't be enough b4 long. But in reality 6gb was fine for the whole generation, as that was around the amount used by the PS4. So personally I wouldn't be freaking out about Vram, it's the kind of requirement that goes up gen on gen not year on year, so you should be fine with 12gbs. That being said if you're still using the 10gb 3080 I'd consider moving on, it might be ok but your pushing it.
Finally someone speaks the facts. I would also add the terrible optimization of games, and it all started with Cyberpunk, and lo and behold, that game is still talked about. In general, I think it's best to buy the generation of gpu that comes out right after the new consoles, because there's a good chance that the gpu will last the entire generation as well. I think that 3080is still very usable, at least until the 5000 gen
As i love and wish AMD the best, 4070super is a monster in 3d editing compared to AMD cards. Gaming is perfect probably on both, but 4070s render things 2x faster than 7800xt. If i was about gaming only i would buy AMD no second thoughts.
@@szaka9395The render thing is heavily dependent on the program. I challenged my buddy to render a 16K image on his rig in Blender (5700x + 4070 Super) and it took his rig the exact same total time as my rig (2700x + 6800xt). We used the same Blender file with the same render settings. His render finished in 23 minutes, the denoising took 4 minutes. My render finished in 20 minutes, and the denoising took 7.
Great comment super helpful! It does look like new gen consoles will be here pretty soon though. Probably 2026 for the New Xbox, and the PS5 pro may be even sooner
I think 12gb vram should be perfectly fine for a few more years. Games usually have plenty of graphics settings to adjust to how much vram you have. I think the 4070 super is a good priced card for the performance + it’s capable of dlss

a 3060 12gb is still getting beat by a 3060 ti with 8gb if the gpu don't have the power in the future when the vram is needed it wont matter how much vram it has the 4080 super will still beat a xtx with only 16 gb of vram. vram isn't the only factor with gaming the power of the card means alot to. Look at the 3090 it has 24 gb and is getting the same performance as a 4070 ti right now and the 4070 ti super will beat a 3090 ti with only 16 gb and the 4070 super 12 gb will be faster than a 3090. so having more vram don't always mean better. in the long term to many people forget the power of the card makes a big difference.
It's not actually about performance it's mainly about the stutters if you pass you VRAM limit you might get some small stutters here and there and that can be kinda annoying but ye VRAM really doesn't matter
@@davidfrazier6308 no it isn't, you can optimize as much as you want but the higher fidelity the textures are and the more rays are rendered, the more vram they need, there's no way around it.
The 7600XT has the same GPU die and cores as the 7600, it's very likely to perform very similar to it. Definitely won't outperform the similarly priced 6700XT.
The one you can afford. Personally I think 1440p is a sharp enough resolution for a 27 inch desktop monitor. Even with a maxed budget I would still go 1440p. Only difference between cards now are the amount of upscaling you need to use so as long as it has enough vram you are probably fine
If you want to stay on Team Green for NVIDIA DLSS, low latency, etc get the RTX 4070 Ti Super. It will have 16GB of VRAM and more cuda cores and more performance than the current 4070ti, all at the same price of $800 The RTX 4070 Ti Super is coming on Jan. 24th.

6950xt is actually the same price as 7800xt at microcenter right now. It has extra performance and the same vram, if you don't mind going last gen. I picked it up for my new PC at $550 to go with my ryzen 7 7800x3d.
@@mohammadnofal4397 3060's arent necessarily meant for 1440p, they're built for 1080p, however they still get solid fps in most modern titles with 1440p mid-high settings.
Most people have 8gb or less vram and are running at 1080p according to steams hardware survey, so if you’re just an average gamer, your 8GB card will still last you a good amount of time. Also, you don’t have to run max settings on every game, if a game runs sluggish on your gpu on max settings then just turn the settings down.
Basically if you're getting new and in most cases used AMD low end, mid range and high end. Nvida is only good at top of the line with rtx 4090 being the only choice in that category...
Ryzen R5 7600 is really your best option. More than fast enough for the rtx 3060, is affordable and comes with a stock cooler, and will future proof your build because you'll have a AM5 motherboard.
I'd honestly recommend an 8gb GPU (on the used market anyway). It's not that the low vram isn't a big issue, or that it won't hurt the future-proofing, it's just that the market already bakes this into the price, and imo, takes it into account wayyy too much considering the vast majority of games are fine with 8gb. You'd have to pay such a premium for no immediate jump in performance, and you can always turn textures down a notch if a game demands too much ram.
Nowadays the 7900 gre can be found for only a few bucks extra, or even the exact same price as was my case, and it outperforms the 7800 xt in every game. I'd highly recommend considering it instead
I had a VRAM problem with TLOU. While i don't have the required VRAM, I was able to atleast launch it before. It turns out the problem was with the latest nvidia driver to which I had to downgrade. Now I was able to play it and with frame gen and FSR available I played it all in 60 fps with my 1660ti at medium to high settings.
Think about it like this: when i got my 1070 people told me i was wasting money if i didnt game in 4k when i played in 1080p. I play modern games at 1080p and im getting somewhat decent performance. Whatever you choose, know that its a matter of time.
If you’re running out of VRAM and experiencing crashes, it may be a defect with your cpu if you have an intel i9 13900k or 14900k (any k variants) per Level 1 techs
I’m still running rtx 3070 with 8gb vram. Most of the time nowadays high and very high texture is close to no difference and just stick with high and you don’t have to set everything to max and use dlss. I have never not encounter any vram issues since I got this card. Though yes I agree haven’t more vram is desirable but imo it’s really not that bad as most UA-camr sounds 😞
Last year I was doing 1440p AAA with a 1660 super and played fine with games released up to that year. Before that I had an R9 390x. Now i have a 6800 which is working great.
If history shows us anything, I think one of two things will happen with VRAM: Either developers are going to get way more efficient in their usage of memory to where much less VRAM is needed in cards. OR. Adding VRAM and improving each VRAM generation will become cheap + good enough to outpace the game developer’s usage of VRAM, thus making it an obsolete discussion with future cards. Picture the 6060 releasing with 24 GB or something.
I’m running an R9 280X 3GB OC and can play most older titles. Hell I was able to play Elden Ring @ 1080p with very little hiccups. It’s crazy how 8GB video cards are now seen as the minimum. I’ve got some serious upgrading to do. 😅😂😂
meanwhile... I still got a 10 gig 3080 lol.. time to save up money to buy a new GPU next year and I'm seriously thinking about moving back to team Red. Went from a RX 5700XT to this 3080, next year I hope to buy a higher end AMD card but I do not want to make a step sideways but a step forward so at least a 7900GRE or higher.
i only have 4gb vram ;O. i mainly play on my ps5 and only games like LoL on my pc, so it doesnt really matter right now. but still, its interesting how much power games require nowadays.
I personally have a rtx 4070 for my 1440p setup and i cannot complain. I can run stuff like Cyberpunk with maxed out settings (no path tracing tho) and get a stable 100-120 fps.
You gotta remember that high VRAM use is almost always due to ultra settings defaulting to using the highest quality textures. If you're fine with playing on High presets or messing around to make your own custom settings, Vram use shouldn't be a problem for you.
RX 7600 XT is a good choice, a robust card with good performance both in FHD and 1440p (on ultra settings of course) with 16 GB of VRAM. It also only costs 300-330$ which makes it an incredible budget choice.
I’d get a 3060 for tripple A games since its a cheap card now at 300 or below and it’s consistently good and can handle some games right now for 4k but idk about future planning in like 4 years time with gta6 and new open world games like far cry as well

Really we need to push microsoft to release a new direct x 12 or direct x13, the newest one (direct x 12 ultimate) is so unoptimized for gpus, all of your utilization goes onto the cpu and vram, producing less frames and increasinf vram usage, alone with stressing the cpu which is usually already processing tons of other services while you're gaming. If microsoft can get direct x under control, then we wont have to worry about future proofing as much, and sure as hell wont consider 12 gbs of vram to small. Realistically, 8gb should exceed the expectations for qhd gaming, 16 gbs for gaming cards shouldn't be a concern.... especially at the prices were looking at currently....
nah they dont care they just want to sell
We cant even hold them to release a finished game
Got the 6800xt from a 3060ti didn’t even cost much to upgrade and it performs a lot better at 1440p higher bandwidth more compute units and 16gb of Vram. Going to use it until this Christmas and maybe sell it for a 7900GRE and it would be cheap to upgrade again. Big brain moves gents
the 7900gre is only about 5-10% better for the same amount of vram

I got told I was being dramatic when I bought my 7900 XTX 7 months ago for basically this reason, it's nice to hear others acknowledging the absurdity of what we need to consider for future proofing right now
And the only reason is, because the big AAA companies cant be asked to properly optimise their games. There is no way, you should be having to build a 2-3k gaming PC, just to play 1440p...
@roarbahamut9866 oh I agree, but yet here we are in a world that is happy to see an end to native optimization in favor of frame generation and whatever other shortcuts can be jammed into the games being produced. At least I'm extra prepped in case this blows up in their face within the next year or 2 and we go back to normal expectations
AAA games overrated tbh
An RX 7900 GRE would be a great contender too. I snagged mine for $540 new and runs amazing at 1440p

The 6700XT is still the best entry-level 1440p card (in my opinion), as it can be found at a steady $250 used, in some cases I've seen it drop to $220 which is honestly a huge W.
Not just your opinion it still is if a base Rx 6700 can do med high ( sometimes just high ) settings 60fps on 1440p on intensive games the Rx 6700XT/50XT can do better

What games. We're talking AAA gaming, and your 3060 definitely will have issues with that.
I kinda disagree, the increased vram requirements are a consequence of the new gen consoles which aren't gonna be using more than 12gb as Vram so it should be fine till the next gen.
As most games aren't gonna be including textures that the PS5 can't use.
For example in 2014 everyone was freaking out that shadow of mordor required 6gb at ultra, people claimed that it would only go up and 8gb wouldn't be enough b4 long.
But in reality 6gb was fine for the whole generation, as that was around the amount used by the PS4.
So personally I wouldn't be freaking out about Vram, it's the kind of requirement that goes up gen on gen not year on year, so you should be fine with 12gbs.
That being said if you're still using the 10gb 3080 I'd consider moving on, it might be ok but your pushing it.
Finally someone speaks the facts. I would also add the terrible optimization of games, and it all started with Cyberpunk, and lo and behold, that game is still talked about. In general, I think it's best to buy the generation of gpu that comes out right after the new consoles, because there's a good chance that the gpu will last the entire generation as well. I think that 3080is still very usable, at least until the 5000 gen
As i love and wish AMD the best, 4070super is a monster in 3d editing compared to AMD cards. Gaming is perfect probably on both, but 4070s render things 2x faster than 7800xt. If i was about gaming only i would buy AMD no second thoughts.
@@szaka9395The render thing is heavily dependent on the program. I challenged my buddy to render a 16K image on his rig in Blender (5700x + 4070 Super) and it took his rig the exact same total time as my rig (2700x + 6800xt). We used the same Blender file with the same render settings. His render finished in 23 minutes, the denoising took 4 minutes. My render finished in 20 minutes, and the denoising took 7.

a 3060 12gb is still getting beat by a 3060 ti with 8gb if the gpu don't have the power in the future when the vram is needed it wont matter how much vram it has the 4080 super will still beat a xtx with only 16 gb of vram. vram isn't the only factor with gaming the power of the card means alot to. Look at the 3090 it has 24 gb and is getting the same performance as a 4070 ti right now and the 4070 ti super will beat a 3090 ti with only 16 gb and the 4070 super 12 gb will be faster than a 3090. so having more vram don't always mean better. in the long term to many people forget the power of the card makes a big difference.

Intel I-5 12400f or Intel I-5 13600k both powerful and pretty good CPUs fro the price to performance and can last you a long time
Ryzen R5 7600 is really your best option. More than fast enough for the rtx 3060, is affordable and comes with a stock cooler, and will future proof your build because you'll have a AM5 motherboard.
I'd honestly recommend an 8gb GPU (on the used market anyway). It's not that the low vram isn't a big issue, or that it won't hurt the future-proofing, it's just that the market already bakes this into the price, and imo, takes it into account wayyy too much considering the vast majority of games are fine with 8gb. You'd have to pay such a premium for no immediate jump in performance, and you can always turn textures down a notch if a game demands too much ram.
Nowadays the 7900 gre can be found for only a few bucks extra, or even the exact same price as was my case, and it outperforms the 7800 xt in every game. I'd highly recommend considering it instead
12GB of VRAM is plenty for 1440P, don’t let this clown tell you otherwise.

If you’re running out of VRAM and experiencing crashes, it may be a defect with your cpu if you have an intel i9 13900k or 14900k (any k variants) per Level 1 techs

I remember there was a time when i used to play 1080p maxxed out settings with my 1650 super on AAA titles
Holy shit, I'm glad I stay on 1080p. My 4060 runs everything super well.
i literally just finished adding a 7800xt to my build, i love it so much!
If history shows us anything, I think one of two things will happen with VRAM:
Either developers are going to get way more efficient in their usage of memory to where much less VRAM is needed in cards.
OR.
Adding VRAM and improving each VRAM generation will become cheap + good enough to outpace the game developer’s usage of VRAM, thus making it an obsolete discussion with future cards. Picture the 6060 releasing with 24 GB or something.
I’m running an R9 280X 3GB OC and can play most older titles. Hell I was able to play Elden Ring @ 1080p with very little hiccups. It’s crazy how 8GB video cards are now seen as the minimum. I’ve got some serious upgrading to do. 😅😂😂
meanwhile... I still got a 10 gig 3080 lol.. time to save up money to buy a new GPU next year and I'm seriously thinking about moving back to team Red. Went from a RX 5700XT to this 3080, next year I hope to buy a higher end AMD card but I do not want to make a step sideways but a step forward so at least a 7900GRE or higher.
i only have 4gb vram ;O. i mainly play on my ps5 and only games like LoL on my pc, so it doesnt really matter right now.
but still, its interesting how much power games require nowadays.
I started with a 4gb 3050 mobile, upgraded to a 6800 for 1080p, swapped to a 6900xt for 1440p, best 1440p ultra card hands down
Got a 7800xt for 1440p widescreen and its perfect
I personally have a rtx 4070 for my 1440p setup and i cannot complain. I can run stuff like Cyberpunk with maxed out settings (no path tracing tho) and get a stable 100-120 fps.
4070 ti super 16GB priced around $800 seems solid for 1440p gaming
You gotta remember that high VRAM use is almost always due to ultra settings defaulting to using the highest quality textures. If you're fine with playing on High presets or messing around to make your own custom settings, Vram use shouldn't be a problem for you.
7900 GRE - No competition. Everything else is ridiculously expensive. It's band new and has 16gb ram for $540.
Zach you should also consider the bits a GPU has , cause that is the most important part as well.
RX 7600 XT is a good choice, a robust card with good performance both in FHD and 1440p (on ultra settings of course) with 16 GB of VRAM. It also only costs 300-330$ which makes it an incredible budget choice.
in this case i would value more the nvidia tecnologies, dlss in AAA game is very valuable
my 3070 ti laptop plays most games at 1440p I'm pretty satisfied with it since i got it for cheap
I’d get a 3060 for tripple A games since its a cheap card now at 300 or below and it’s consistently good and can handle some games right now for 4k but idk about future planning in like 4 years time with gta6 and new open world games like far cry as well
I play at 1440p with a RTX 3060 and it's fine, temps are high but it works great !
I just tried out the new Sparkle Intel Arc A770 TITAN OC 16GB GDDR6, and it runs over 7800xt and 4080. Intel have really worked hard with updating drivers the last year, and the perfomance keeps getting better each update. I paid 400 dollars for it, and my nvidia who costed double amount is now on the shelf collecting dust 🤯🙈
The 4070 Ti Super is also pretty good as it has 16 GB of vram, but its also 800 USD
4070 ti super would be good now. It has 16gb vram and has decent value
4070 super is also pretty good, i own it and play many AAA's on it, its good bang for your buck
4070 TI 16 GB is fine now...... I felt chills down to my last bone
