Already used with previous generations.
For 1080p screens(which most gamers are still using), 3GB is still reasonable.3GB on a mid range gpu in 2019... I'm at a loss for words.
That will depend on the settings level.I have a feeling RTRT will be all but useless at this level.

3GB is cutting it really fine IMO. Even at 1080p. Fallout 4 will use 3GB+ at 1080p without the HD textures (the HD pack is a joke of unoptimised BS though). and Far Cry 5 will use over 4GB at 1080p too. While most games could be played easily on 3GB with medium or less-than-ultra textures, it is completely lacking any form of future proofing at all. A bad investment IMO.For 1080p screens(which most gamers are still using), 3GB is still reasonable
AMD = overheating, power hungry, unstable, bad software, no innovation BUT IT'S CHEAPER!!
NVIDIA = expensive
I really don't get the NVIDIA haters, AMD is pure shit, it's the Walmart variant of video cards
You can easily run almost every single game on a 3GB card at 1080p just fine, but you're gonna lower the texture quality in some games and that's all. the 3GB version is not ideal but is not as usless as some people think, it actually might be a good value card for those needing a fairly powerful GPU and don't care about the maximum quality textures or VRAM related settings.
if the 3GB RTX 2060 is going to be priced under 200$, I don't see a problem but anything higher than 200$ is unacceptable.
8GB VRAM on a 800$ card (RTX 2080) is more disappointing than 3GB on a budget card to me.

Low quality troll is low quality.
Sure thing hon.I'm not trolling, but the NVIDIA hate these days is slowly getting to me.
Just look at the forums: AMD sub-forum has 387 pages while NVIDIA has 230. AMD cards are shit-tier. Whenever a new game gets released the forums are full of AMD owners crying.

That assumes full AA, which most people turn down or off, which naturally reduces the memory footprint, even with HD texturing.3GB is cutting it really fine IMO. Even at 1080p. Fallout 4 will use 3GB+ at 1080p without the HD textures (the HD pack is a joke of unoptimised BS though). and Far Cry 5 will use over 4GB at 1080p too.
Please take your fanboy trolling elsewhere, no one here cares about such silly nonsense..AMD is the retarded child that you have to hide in the attic when guests come over to visit.
True, but with 2060 approaching 1070 performance, surely you'd expect people to want to play with settings maxed? I always thought the xx60 series were about max settings FHD gaming.That assumes full AA, which most people turn down or off, which naturally reduces the memory footprint, even with HD texturing.

Not really. I have a 2080 and still turn off AA. No real need for it at 1080p and above. Most gamers prefer framerate VS AA.True, but with 2060 approaching 1070 performance, surely you'd expect people to want to play with settings maxed? I always thought the xx60 series were about max settings FHD gaming.
Fair enough. I suppose it depends on the type of AA, too. I'm actually running TAA enabled in Fallout 4 and the 570 manages it at 60fps but I am also turning down other things like shadows. Warframe also uses TAA but that's really light and I'm at 120FPS more often than not at FHD. Hilariously, Fallout 76 uses over 7GB of vram at 1080p. Don't even ask why, the textures don't look anywhere near good enough haha. I think its caching the RAM or Bethesda just copy pasted their Fallout 4 Hi res textures to it. (really badly optimised). I would still prefer more VRAM though. I feel like 8GB on my 570 was a real bargain even though I won't be able to use it all before I run out of GPU power but at least I will have zero vram issues.Not really.

I think one RTX 2060 is plenty to fill the market. But comparing GPUs and setting prices based on memory size is pure BS. 3GB is fine for an entry mid-range card as long as proper benchmarking shows it's fine.You can get an 8 GiB RX 580 for $220. A 3 GiB card these days shouldn't be going for much more than $120 (the realm of budget cards).
RTX 2060 will perform far beyond RX 570, a low-end card. Brag all you want about 8GB, there is no way that card needs it.Makes me even more happy with the 8GB on the RX 570 I just picked up for £150. (plus 2x free AAA games). Yes I know 2060 will be faster but AMD offering 8GB at this price point is insane value. Oh and the card runs 1080p just fine.
Memory usage doesn't mean memory requirement, many applications allocate more memory than they need. What matters is performance, or lack thereof. Stuttering might be a indicator of too little memory.3GB is cutting it really fine IMO. Even at 1080p. Fallout 4 will use 3GB+ at 1080p without the HD textures (the HD pack is a joke of unoptimised BS though). and Far Cry 5 will use over 4GB at 1080p too.

NVIDIA is the one shipping 6 variants of the silicon to AIBs. AIBs install the GDDR chips that are compatible. AIBs can only control which chips they get, not what is available.First AMD fanboys blaming Nvidia for holding AIBs on short leash. Then Nvidia let AIBs run loose... Still Nvidia's fault.
DRAM is a large chunk of the cost to manufacture a video card. Additionally, having so little VRAM makes the card less valuable to gamers even at 1920x1080. 64-bit games (which most are these days) will use >4 GiB of VRAM if it is available. Couldn't care less about benchmarks. More and more games not only do graphics on GPU, but computation on GPU as well.I think one RTX 2060 is plenty to fill the market.

"64-bit" games have nothing to do with GPU memory usage. That makes no sense from a technical perspective.64-bit games (which most are these days) will use >4 GiB of VRAM if it is available.
This really says it all, doesn't it?Couldn't care less about benchmarks.
They do, but this is still irrelevant.More and more games not only do graphics on GPU, but computation on GPU as well.
