GPU memory is the new performance bottleneck, but how much GDDR7 will Micron actually be making?

This says it’s more like 46, and that’s with raytracing off so I’m assuming you’re upscaling it as well.

... there have been some driver updates since then. And game updates.

Yeah, as with any pc under roughly $1500-$2000, you'll be needing upscaling to handle real time raytracing. And frame gen.

I mean, you'll generally be needing upscaling and frame gen to handle raytracing at +60fps for any res other than 1080p or lower, within the $1500 - $2000 price range, so I'm not really sure what point you're trying to make.

Yeah you can see in that clip they’re using fsr to upscale it.

... read my comment again, I updated it.

Glad you took all of 30 seconds to watch that ~12 minute video.

I’ve read what you added, and double checked the video to confirm that ray tracing is also turned off entirely.

I didn’t watch the video in its entirety because your numbers sounded really high for a mid specced system running a game that is notoriously demanding at its highest settings, and you linked it to me saying that the difference was due to game and driver updates. I skipped to the part of the video showing the settings they used (and the performance overlay) to confirm that the settings were different from the article I linked, which would easily explain the difference.

Ok, noted, I will not discuss budget solutions to maximize your gaming bang for your buck with you again.
