I can't keep track of all the bullshit vidyacard numbering systems, that's why I'm terrified to upgrade my R9 380.

Everyone will immediately doood you gotta buy the 1114323GX PRO and like, is it really worth the price when I'm not playing the latest AAAA titles? I don't have a 288Hz ultramegawidescreen display, I just want good graphics on 3-year-old games and I can tell my card is getting a bit old.

That's AyyMD's fault, Nvidia's numbering makes sense. Bigger number = better :marseybigbrain:

Here's the secret to buying graphics cards:

1. Get the cheapest AMD card with 16GB VRAM that you can find. You'll pay maybe 300 bucks.

2. You're done.

Enjoy the next 6 years. Turn on upscaling or frame generation if you need more fps. The lossless scaling app on steam works for every game.

If you're not a complete broke-butt and don't like driver crashes you can also look at the xx70 nvidia card after it's been out for a few months

The 4070 sucks. Get a 4080 instead at that point.

Getting the most expensive 12GB VRAM card on the market is for rubes.

You seem obsessed with ram, I hope you're not one of those 1440 or 4k r-slurs

Is this bait? Go ahead and spend as much as you can for as little VRAM as possible like an r-slured rube. It's not like VRAM requirements go up every year and tanks your performance when you run out, right?

Maybe you're planning on upgrading to the next r-slur magnet Nvidia product in 4 years anyway so you can get the exact same problem again down the road. In any case, Nvidia thanks you for your generous donation.

>he doesn't know amd will still be using last-gen vram in 2025

Laughed my butt off when I looked this up !codecels

Btw Black Ops 6 uses 4gb

e: I lied, they're finally using gddr6x in the 8000 series - just in time for the debut of gddr7
