An Epic Games developer has warned that the VRAM memory capacity of GPUs will be decisive for enjoying high-quality games in the not too distant future. Although it mentions the Unreal Engine 5 graphics engine as an example of the next generation of games, high-end GPUs experience performance limitations due to lack of VRAM in other graphics engines.
The Diablo IV beta shows that even the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti GPU with 8GB of VRAM falls short to play in 1080p resolution with maximum graphics settings. Another example is Hogwarts Legacy, which requires up to 15 GB of VRAM to enable Ray Tracing at full quality and 4K resolution; or even the recent Resident Evil 4 Remake, which calls for 16GB for recommended requirements. Therefore, it is recommended to have a high-end GPU with at least 12 GB of VRAM to enjoy the game in its best quality.
The problem of the PC remains the same, its rapid obsolescence
In the end, it is clear that once again, PCs continue to have the same problem, their obsolescence. They will always be more powerful than a console, but the optimization of consoles is always a point in their favor, even if they do not reach the technical level of the PC. PC was my secondary platform for a long time, I play anything and everything, and I think today it’s the definitive platform, but console continues to give me other things PC can’t. just not.
The following NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070What It will go on sale on April 13 for a price of more than 600 dollars, it will only offer 12 GB of memory, which would be close to its usage limit. It is therefore recommended to aim for 16 GB of memory to ensure optimal performance, but this will not solve the memory throttling problem. And the one in your pocket either, since nothing assures you that soon these 16 GB will also be insufficient.

Be that as it may, I am convinced that the arrival of new graphics engines or higher versions will make it possible to optimize this consumption of resources.
