i want intel to destroy this gpu market situation we are in.

If they're able to pull it off great, but I'm not holding my breath.

This current 5xxx series is shittier than the 4xxx series reminds me of 2003/2004. Remember the infamous GeForce FX 5XXX series? It barely outperformed the GeForce 4 series. That whole generation was a hot pile of steaming poo.

As i play only AAA titles i feel 8gb ram for low and mid range with fake AI generation convinces me to buy a PS5. As future titles are vram hungry.

Ah! Tech jesus steve i missed that video. We shouldnt blame the scalpers we should blame those idiots buying from them to just flaunt with their friends to just play team fortress 2 or CS2.

Scapler gonna scalp scalp scalp scalp.....

I had the misery of owning an FX 5200. Relative to its timeline, that piece of crap makes the GT710 feel like a 4090.

For what resolution?

I play at 4k, but have seen issues even at 1440p. Depends on game.

If one is to justify this then one needs to keep on buying the latest models regardless of the VRAM because the games will ever be more demanding. And I believe that the manufacturers are basing the VRAM for a certain resolution in mind. For eg. The 5070 with 12GB is being marketed for 1440p not 4k and the 5070 Ti with 16GB also is marketed for 1440p seemingly with all the bells and whistles. If you plan to play them all in 4k max then Nvidia would tell you to go for 5080 bare minimum.
So for us the end consumers all we can do is to just compare this generation with older ones then decide.

This is apple style segmentation at its worst. VRAM isn't expensive from what i have read, not that it becomes a barrier.
Nvidia has a long history of skimping on VRAM in 'value' products ( These days even in not value products).
They seem to be just enough that people dont notice ( or not enough these days for new 8gb cards). And then in a couple of years your experience starts degrading.

Yes we can only compare including cards from competition. And reduce buying interest in crappy value cards.
VRAM is something that we shouldnt ignore. With enough VRAM for future games, we could still run with textures at maximum or with high res texture mods while keeping at settings lower. Sharp Textures make a big difference in image quality, no amount of RT is gonna make up for blurry textures.

Also, there is no need to play only the latest games, We have undersupply of gfx cards and oversupply of games. So we can choose among many games that will run fine, ignore FOMO.
This is from an avg gamer pov. Some want only the best ofc, and that's fine. Titan type cards are for them. Those cards are fine too, its below that everything has gotten shitty.
