I have when companies say how much VRAM textures need without specifying resolution. I’m guessing they mean 8GB at 1080p?
I always assume all specs listed are for 1080p. It is still very much the standard.
High reso = 4k
Not necessarily. There is no texture resolution standards for resolution. It can be literally anything higher than their originally. Texture resolutions are not standardized in any way. A “4K asset” is literally just marketing and really has no inherent meaning. It’s just an asset designed with 4K in mind, if they’re being honest at all.
lol
High reso pack is for 4k
The Steam News page discussing the update makes zero mention of any specific resolution. You are talking out of your a*s.
They dont want to console look worst than pc at lunch.
Thats why they releasing now.
GG faggets
john what happened to the new paradox vampire game reveal? i thought they were going to do it today?
The article discussing that game said “Paradox Interactive has launched an ARG and will reveal more details about its project on March 21st.”
Right now in California (where GDC is ongoing), it’s about 6:30 AM on March 21st. Give it another 4-8 hours and they’ll probably show something.
i thought paradox was a european company, my life has been a lie.
They are European, but most well known publishers and developers in the industry are currently in California for GDC.
A Vampire Collection will be most likely revealed in half an hour from now ( https://www.gog.com/newsletter/20190320_nl_countdown_en ). As for the rumoured new Vampire game, my guess is that it will be revealed later today (unless the collection is the only thing planned for today).
“requires at least 40GB of free space and 8GB of graphic memory (VRAM).”
RIP RTX 2060, a $350 card in 2019 with 6GB, PA-THE-TIC.
Lmao. i was just thinking about your statement too. i started wondering the comparison between rx470/480/570/580 8gb with 2060/1660ti/1660/1060 6gb?
FINALLY. MS paid them nicely to keep these off PC and only on their X. I kept wondering why more people didnt call this out.
can my old i5 3570 stil can playing thats game with that HD texture pack 40gb…. ?? T_T
