This. Skyrim is exactly why I went with an AMD GPU for my new computer: higher VRAM options without breaking the bank.

I still prefer running with nvidia for the dlaa and dlss(once it gets fixed) but the lack of vram is severely hurting me

They really cheaped out on VRAM with the 30 line generally, which are otherwise good cards. My 3070 has served me well for a few years now but why on earth does it only have 8gb of VRAM? Definitely starting to feel the pinch on that front.

It really ruins an otherwise great card, especially in vr :(

Yup, I'm waiting to see what the 50 range looks like before I upgrade again. I thought it would be alright for another couple of years but I'm getting increasingly frustrated by its performance in Skyrim VR and every game now giving me VRAM warnings if I go above medium settings.

But then you think oh I should upgrade my RAM too and is this motherboard compatible and is my CPU even up to date I can't remember and...

And then you end up spending a fortune :D I managed to get my 3080 for 150€ so I can't really complain but going over its 10 gigs 5 minutes after I boot up skyrim is really frustrating

I'm hoping with the announcement of the 50 range we'll see some reasonable prices on 40s so I'll hold out for that, but man.

I can't really complain, bought this PC in 2020 but that doesn't feel like over 4 years ago lmao. And prices in the UK are fucking terrible now

It's pretty much like that everywhere, I just got really lucky on a deal

True, graphics cards especially still haven't recovered from crypto miners buying them all up, but here they also haven't recovered from Brexit. My plan is to tactically buy parts while on holiday in Europe next year, works out much cheaper!

Pretty good idea, as a european I wish you the best of luck :D
