AMD hides its claim that 4GB of VRAM is ‘not enough’ just as it launches a 4GB GPU

As someone who has a 4Gb vram card i can say its starting to be less and less useful, might also be that its 9 years old

Your 9 year old 4GB gpu is probably less VRAM and bus limited than this card. It's more likely to be compute limited

It would be less bus limited if it din't run in crossfire and only have pcie 3 x8 available so it technically would be having the same transfer speed limitations as this cards pcie 4 x4.
and yes it really aught to be more compute limited or else nobody would buy it, or atleast i hope nobody would if it did.
but i just see alot of graphic setting fairly quickly tell me that i have reached my vram capacity

It gets above 60 FPS on Minesweeper.

That's what I call exceptional performance!

A bit of a hi+jacking here but I think it is still smaller than “Windows 10 is the last version of Windows”, which I still have not figured out why.
