There’s no detail on whether both the 12 GB / 8 GB models or one of those will be produced
If it is the 8GB model, just keep what you have and don’t buy it. Even for 1080p gaming, 8GB just doesn’t cut it anymore.
I mean, like most reviewers they test their games at ultra/very high to isolate the GPU performance. But realistically you shouldn’t be expecting to run those settings at 1440p/4K for a budget card like this.
More 8GB cards sucks if that’s what gets released, but it’s not like you can’t game at all without more VRAM. Just turn down your settings till a better deal comes along.
I have an 8GB 3070 and it’s doing just fine.
Yep, me too, been fantastic, and even handles the valve index without issues. I almost jumped and got a 5xxx series the other day but a voice in my head quietly said…“hold”, and so I did.
As I said, if you have one keep it. But the bechmarks don’t lie. It’s worth holding out for a better card than to buy a freshly manufactured 8GB 3060 in 2026.
Hey my 4gb t600 runs doom eternal on high perfectlu
I recently played Doom Eternal, and I swear they’ve done some black magic with that game. It seems crazy well optimized. Very happy with it!
As long as the price is right, this could be good. Maybe cheaper than the RTX 5050?
I am really glad I bought a 3080 back in late 2020. It looks like I will be using for a few more years. Thankfully I am not really GPU bound in gaming (I play mostly strategy games) or my encoding/video upscaling hobby (all done on CPU for best possible quality to size ratio).
