"Struggling" by choosing the highest texture pool, even if its benefits are negligible. I'm not a fan of these fixed texture pools (the Resident Evi games use them, too). They take away the VRAM, even if the pools are mostly empty. If they would also offer a 30-GB-texture pool, RTX 4090 and 7900XTX would struggle, too. Most games run fine with a low texture pool, even while using the higest textures. PCGH tested with a low texture pool, also 2560x1440 and hyper settings -snip- |
While I mostly agree, a high-end card from just 1 generation ago (though the next one is just around the corner) should still be able to play any game in max settings at just 1080p. So the fact that the original 3080 can't is just a disgrace for NVidia and really shows how that entire Ampere lineup apart from the 3090 and the 3060 were simply too memory-constrained.
