remember back then when nvidia only had 2GB vram max and amd had 3 and 4GB of vram and everyone was shitting on amd saying we dont need that much -_-

 

You needed to have at least 4K resolution to need more than 2GB. And no cards can do that anyways. That was the rationale back then. Utter shit really. But NVidia really has perfected the ideology of planned obsolescence and got people to bite.

Watching Intel have competition is like watching a headless chicken trying to get out of a mine field

You forgot the 780TI and Titan Black, leaving the 780 and Titan at high.

Again, with 750, 780 and Titan I meant their series (So 780/Ti and Titan/Black):

Lol, I've seen the fried connectors and melted wires. While some PSU can handle graphics cards that run out of spec-it doesn't mean that its a good idea to do so.

Good thing that AMD were open about needing a really good PSU then :)

Shame however that only 2x 8 pin connectors from the really good PSU could be used.

I asked for you to provide a source, the "I've seen" isn't enough, at least for me... specially because I never saw nothing like that with a R9 295X2, ever.

not to mention, the room for user error is huge here..

why did a connector burn?

While the standard is 150w pr 8pin, the 8pin connector and cable has a theoretical maximum of nearly 300w....

The reasons a cable would have burned can come down to the condition of the cable (if its been kinked really badly, a wire could have snapped inside and kept arching inside the insulation).

The connector may not have been inserted all the way in. Fun fact though, since i see shit like that at work every other day, i can tell you that once its melted, you wont ever fucking know if it wasnt properly connected, cus the plastic will completly fuse together in a molten heap.

The mains could be weak, causing bad rippling due to fluctuations in mains voltage.

The wires for the card could have been zip-tied to every other cable in the case, add some poor airflow and all the cables will heat eachother until they burn. Ive seen this IRL so many times. Its not hard or uncommon for this to happen.

Um, Who really needs 16 GBs of VRAM? I'm doing just fine with 1 GB.

A lot of newer games need more than 1GB and a lowest of 4GB in order to play at anything above lowest settings.

System Specs:

CPU: Ryzen 7 5800X

GPU: Radeon RX 7900 XT 

RAM: 32GB 3600MHz

HDD: 1TB Sabrent NVMe -  WD 1TB Black - WD 2TB Green -  WD 4TB Blue

MB: Gigabyte  B550 Gaming X- RGB Disabled

PSU: Corsair RM850x 80 Plus Gold

Case: BeQuiet! Silent Base 801 Black

Cooler: Noctua NH-DH15

I can't think of a more boring topic than debating which companies product naming protocols are better... BORING

While for 900 series is:

950: mid

960: mid high

970-80: high

980 ti / titan: enthusiast.

I was Enthusiast before the 980 Ti

I still say Nvidia's naming scheme is totally consistent. 950 is low, 960 is med-low, 970 is mid, 980 is mid-high, 980TI and Titan X are high/enthusiast.

Yeah Nvidia's makes perfect sense and AMDs was great before they changed to this RX 3X0 bullshit

This is simply a straight up lie. My 560ti 1GB has only had issues with a single game, AC Unity, every other game has run great

Haha I honestly can think of any other decent new name other than "Titan Ultra"

Well, since the Titans went Titan, Titan Z, Titan X, the next could be V, as in Titan V ( for Victory.), but that doesn't fit the pattern (-1 = Z, -2 = X, -3 = U ( so Ultra would work ) -- The next would be -4 = R and I'd have to get that one since it's my initial)

 

If team green went with V then AMD would want to match that since all the cool kids are doing it. Fury V ( for Vendetta )

well, minesweeper, solitaire and 3D pinball isnt very demanding on the VRAM......

Well cleary you don't play the right version of minesweeper

But real now, Witcher 3, Evil Within, Crysis 3, GTA V, MGSV at ultra, basically no game requires >1GB to play

I have 12. You can never have enough ram. 

 

You literally can. With vram you have either enough, or not enough. If you have enough you don't benefit from having more, but if you don't your experience is bad. It's not like GPU performance where a better GPU will always get more fps (other bottlenecks notwithstanding), vram literally is a "you have enough or you don't" kind of deal.

uhm....

Witcher 3, in Novigrad on all ultra (and AA) uses 3240MB just standing still....

FarCry 4 is hitting 5-6GB just looking at/walking around the landscape outside a spawn house....

Metro Last Light hit 2540MB on ultra settings.....

Skyirm (Stock, no mods) is hitting 3422MB during the starting cinematic alone....

 

i play at 3440x1440p... so yes, in my case games use A LOT more then 1GB... but you would still be over 1GB on 1080p seeing as my resolution is about 2.5x that of 1080p in terms of pixels (4.953.600 vs 2.073.600).... so yeah, 1.5 to 2GB would be reasonable with 1080p.... but under 1GB on high or ultra. not a chance in hell....

If you like paging to system RAM, sure.

I also am playing on the settings that are playable on a 560 ti. These are not ultra settings, more like medium and high

1080p isn't impossible with 1GB, it's better to have 2, well 3GB now is basically the minimum for full buffer in vram, but it doesn't break the game
