Nvidia's groundbreaking VRAM solution only works best on its fastest GPUs
… For NTC to become mainstream, developers will have to actively incorporate it into their games, which means that future games may come with a decreased VRAM cost. Current titles sitting in our libraries, however, will have the same resource cost as they always have. …
My RTX 5090 can't keep up with Apple Silicon on the biggest local LLMs, and I hate to admit it
… And that's an entire computer for the cost of a single GPU. More on that in a bit, though. At the very top, the gap isn't just lopsided, but instead, straight up absurd. …
AMD keeps following Nvidia's playbook, and it's setting back Radeon years of progress
… Team Red's complacence over the past few years has already costed both Radeon in market share and consumers in choice. The market is flooded with low-VRAM GPUs and AI features that make the headlines over architecture or compute. …
I turned off HAGS and gained back a gigabyte of VRAM with almost no FPS loss
… Related I tried running games at native resolution again, but DLSS 4.5 changed my mind Even pixel peepers would struggle to justify native rendering at this point Turning it off made perfect sense on this build My partner's system is a very specific kind of bottlenecked: an RTX 2070 Super paired wi… …
I bought a PCIe riser for aesthetics, and it created a problem nobody warns you about
… The materials required to maintain signal integrity at 32GT/s are significantly more expensive to manufacture, leading to a much higher price point. …
Nvidia's VRAM problem is quietly becoming a software problem, and game developers are the ones being forced to deal with it
… The clearest recent example of a triple-A title dealing with VRAM constraints is Indiana Jones and the Great Circle . The game surfaces texture pool warnings, gate settings behind VRAM checks, and in some configurations refuses to enable certain options on 8GB cards at all. …
I almost bought a used Nvidia Tesla GPU for my home lab, then I read what owners actually deal with
… Related This 5-year-old GPU handles local LLMs better than the newest from Nvidia The RTX 3090 has aged beautifully for local AI, thanks to its solid performance and VRAM Tesla cards are not for the faint of heart So am I never buying a Tesla P40? …
