| CrazyGPU said: Maybe you are right, I would like to know how PCs manage memory vs this gen consoles. Quantum break, Battlefront 2 are asking for 16 GB of ram and 4/3 GB of VRAM. Recommended. Cod WWII 12 GB of ram and 6 GB. Recommended. They run on current premium consoles, but that gives me an idea that if they make a 16 GB of ram console, games are going to stall. I mean, next gen would last for at least 7 more years. Last time they add 16 x more RAM. If they only double it, it would become a bottleneck in the years to come. But it can happen. |
They tend to be downgraded experiences on console verses the PC though.
Even the Xbox One X isn't matching the PC's ultra.
| CrazyGPU said: why Vega based? maybe Navi is ready for oct-nov 2020. |
We would probably be looking at AMD's next gen GPU architecture by then.

(next generation maybe our last generation since we could run out of maximizing transistor technology so we need a reasonable baseline for next generation in terms of both new hardware features and raw power to provide a high incentive for customers to purchase new systems but hopefully Samsung will ramp up EUV for this year so that we can use the technology to enable higher performance and density for DRAMs) |
GDDR7 would be amazing. But I doubt JEDEC would have gotten off their ass and ratified the standard by 2020 considering how long we were sitting around with GDDR5.
| Dark_Feanor said: 16gb of VRAM is more than enough to display 4k and have high quality textures. You only need to look at Xbox One X to have an idea of what the next generation will be capable. The extra juice will come with better CPU per core performance. 10 cores could be good enough to reach 60 GPS. |
16GB of VRAM is certainly enough for 4k and high-quality texture. If it was completely dedicated to graphics.
Throw in system memory, OS memory, apps, background tasks and cats... And then 16GB of total Ram starts to look antiquated.
