    That wouldn’t work. AMD uses a lot of low memory cheap cheap memory in unison to achieve high speeds, that’s why their cards have more vram than nvidia, not because the amount matters, but because more memory chips together can get higher speeds.

    Nvidia uses really expensive chips that are high speed so they can fewer memory chips to get the same memory speed.

    Then AMD lied and manipulated gamers for advertising that you need 16gb vram.

    Memory speed > memory amount

      Why would speed matter more then amount. If I have to swap from the slower system memory it’s going to slow it down. Having more means I can store more needed stuff in fast ram.

        That’s not how it works at all. You still need to use system memory.

        And honestly, I really don’t have time to explain all the details on how RAM and VRAM works.

        You are definitely AMDs target audience.

          You’re wrong bro. I can’t er, don’t have time to explain but you’re just wrong. *Finishes with passive aggressive insult*
