Comment on Steam Machine – Powerful Enough?
JohnEdwa@sopuli.xyz 2 days ago3070 Ti is still a surprisingly capable card. If you compare 3060 Ti, 4060 Ti and the 5060 ti to it, they are all really close with the 3070 Ti actually being the fastest.
The major difference is VRAM, 8GB is to little little for 4k gaming, but it’s still perfectly fine at 1080 or 1440p, especially with some FSR/DLSS thrown in.

Yeah, I don’t really get why people complain about the 8gb VRAM. The GPU isn’t fast enough to push native 4k anyway and at lower resolutions 8gb is sufficient for gaming. I have a similar GPU in my PC and never had any issues with the 8gb in 1080p, and I suspect at 1440p it is also still fine.

Using 1440p, I’ve not had any major issues with 8GB. It has been a bottleneck that has forced me to turn some resolution/texture settings down though. Indiana Jones is an example that stands out for running poorly, but I’m not buying a new system for that game to run better.
