why a 2060? pegging a 2060 with full memory usage it would struggle i imagine anyway. maybe a 3080 would be better or Ti

I would be more impressed had he upgraded a 3070 to 16GB of ram.

already has if you read it.

Im still missing old times, where just Videocard memory could be expanded through optiomal memory slots. I still dream about modular GPUs, where we would be able only replace main chip, memory..

When was that possible i in my 40's and dont remeber a time that was possible?, the modular thing would be cool but probably huge nightmare to make working drivers for it

Ive definitely seen socketed memory chips on some videocards in an ewaste pile (probably early 1990s era cards i would guess). The software side wouldn't be that difficult , It could work just like ddr dimms, bigger problem is that socketing/slotting chips with the amount of pins modern video memory chips have would be a nightmare, you would need 4 sodimm or smaller slots, for a 256bit wide memory interface.

hmm maybe i seen such thing on my first pc which was 486x or was 286x it was 8mhz I cant remember changing video card once with new card that had something you describing. but if i did it long gone it was probably still in that 8mhz pc i had, when i junked it, it survived 3 floods before the 4th flood rendered the pc usless the likely hood now days pc surviving 1 flood let alone 3 and still work is nil

Old Trident cards and others had the sockets for extra RAM, I remember doing it.

Im not historian, but 1990-1996 for sure.. lots of S3 Trio, Virges.. ATI Mach and Matrox G2 cards have memory slots.. And im even younger than you. https://i.gyazo.com/a82e4841ccd20545c56132772c936f3c.jpg https://storage.googleapis.com/pctuning-cz/media/images/723z0ptf4m2hhb560cea68c1b9f3921278255.jpg

I had a Matrox Millenium it was a 2mb card and you could buy an 6mb upgrade. I did it back when I was using a Voodoo Graphics card.

never owned any of those cards, I did own S3 at somepoint which might be why i remeber those slots, i wasnt much tech junkie i so i did not pay much attention to what the cards look like

It would only make sense to upgrade 3070 8gb to 12gb 🙂 🙂 🙂 Ya all know it 😀

or 6700xt with ray tracing,either way would work the same

not really,the gap is humongous.6700xt is like 2070S,except 2070S can be helped with dlss.6700xt can't be helped by anything except for fsr in one or two ray traced games. [SPOILER]

[/SPOILER] btw it's also slower than 3060ti on gf gameready drivers in 2042,not that anyone cares about bf2042 until it's down to 25eur. https://www.purepc.pl/battlefield-2042-pc-sprawdzamy-wymagania-sprzetowe-test-wydajnosci-kart-graficznych-nvidia-geforce-i-amd-radeon?page=0,9 despite it's faster on medium https://www.purepc.pl/battlefield-2042-pc-sprawdzamy-wymagania-sprzetowe-test-wydajnosci-kart-graficznych-nvidia-geforce-i-amd-radeon?page=0,8 even amd told you in their slides that infinity cache will not fully compensate for the gimped memory config on a card that's as powerful as 2080Ti/2080S running a 192-bit bus

Why use rt on amd? These cards are not supposed to run rt. Bf2042 is trash that is other thing 6800 runs closer to 3080 and beats 3070 ti at 1440p....

bold statement,but not untrue that is why they're niche cards

Its not bold its a fact. Point me person that got rdna2 with rt mind? Its not feature on rx6. It can run it but thats it. Strong 1080p/1440p raster performance is where rx6 shines and it's the field we can draw any comparisons. Want rt? Buy card that supports it.
