Thats strange! According to AMD fanboys you need at least 12GB if not 16GB in 2024! And most PC gamers use 4K native or even higher!
Yet 3070 8GB beats 6700XT 12GB with ease in 4K/UHD native on ultra settings in terms of minimum fps
3070 has 15% higher minimum fps and they both launched at 480-500 dollars.
Not that any of these cards do 4K well, however VRAM is not the problem.
Also, DLSS is far superior to FSR, which will help alot with longevity down the road.
Developers embranced upscaling and its here to stay. DLSS/DLAA reigns supreme and most PC gamers will gladly use upscaling if performance goes up by 50-100% if not more, with built in anti aliasing and sharpening. Thats just reality.
Lets hope AMD can improve FSR alot, after all they changed approach recently and will go the AI route as well. Nvidia is just years ahead.
