Do PC gamers feel 12GB of VRAM is simply not enough for the money in 2024?

Why people no buy our GPU anymore?

Because I can get a whole fucking console for the price of a lower midrange GPU. My only hope is Intel's Battlemage at this point.

    yeah but then you have to play a console without mods or cheap games

    try buying a used GPU and game on 1080p monitor and you'll be able to have great graphics without a lot of money

    Because you are completely against AMD?

    I have an all-AMD system, but they have become too expensive as well. Just Nvidia with a 20% discount, safe for the 7900 XTX which is completely out of question for me to begin with.

    Cheaper Nvidia ain't bad. This is coming from someone that uses a 3080Ti and refuses to use AMD GPUs because of shit way in the past. I use their processors though, those are amazing i just wish they had support for thunderbolt.

    You can get amd with thunderbolt. The motherboards with thunderbolt headers are bloody expensive, and you'll need a 200 bucks add in card (which needs to match the motherboard manufacturer I think), so it's not exactly cheap, but it is possible.

    I understand you can shoehorn just about anything you want into a system but that's not the same as supporting it IMO.

    Agreed, and in my experience (Asus board) it's functional but a bit buggy, so not an easy recommendation. Still, if you want or need team red it's an option. Price premium sucked, but wasn't actually noticeably more than if I'd gone team blue. Not sure I'd do it again in hindsight though. Fully functional but only 90% reliable (which is worse than it seems, in the same way a delay of "only" a second every time you do something adds up to a big annoyance) is perhaps not worth it for my use case.

    Yeah I'm still running GTX970 since the GPU prices went zongers right after buying this. Last generation with decent performance price balance.

    Fuck the market. I'll just stick with this one until it dies on me.
