8gb of vram seems… disappointing
They say it can run games at 4k60 “with FSR”, so it seems like it’s targeting 1080p native rendering, which is totally fine for me. I’ll be connecting it to the living room TV and sitting 6-8 feet away so I’ll probably keep it set to 1080p anyway just to keep the framerate high.
Eh, for the number of CUs, it looks fine. It looks like a slightly smaller RX 7600.
