Not sure why you think that. It really depends on the performance of the new parts. If they’re (pulling numbers completely out of thin air) 25% faster at the same TDP, then that’s definitely more efficient. At that point it you can just use PBO to tune performance down to whichever power envelope fits your use case
Yeah, but in this case I’m referring to vram. RT is what it is, and most “recent” cards support some kind of RT, even if not well. The concern is more that, for instance, the 3070 only has 8GB. I wouldn’t ever say that the 3070 is nearing it’s EoL either. The 3060 is the top card in steam, sure, but the next two dozen or so places are almost universally 8GB cards (with varying degrees of RT support) , including several 40xx series. I’m just saying that I don’t see a hard RT and >8GB VRAM requirement playing out as well as a lot of people think.
Fair, but it’s been shown time and time again that most users are either on “intro level” gpus or weaker. Heck, a midrange from 2 years ago is an 8gb card. I’m not sure how they expect to sell this game at all unless it’s just planned to be a bundle add-on for the 50xx/90xx series cards.
