But such a video card will never come out
Recently, the issue of lack of video memory in many GeForce RTX 30 video cards has been very actively discussed. And the best way to check if this is so seems to have already been found. Enthusiast Paulo Gomes took an RTX 3070 with 8GB of memory and added another 8GB to it. The modified adapter worked fine after certain settings, except that the authors took only a remake of Resident Evil 4 as a test.
The 8GB of memory on the RTX 3070 is really a problem.
In their case, the game consumed 11 GB of memory, and this is at a resolution of 2560 x 1080 pixels. As you can see, the difference is very large. It is not very correct to evaluate it by screenshots, it is better to watch the video. In the case of a regular RTX 3070, the average performance jumps a lot, but technically it is at a good level of 50-70 fps. However, the problem is that FPS 1% and FPS 0.1% are 7 fps! This means that periodically the performance drops to these values for a moment, which makes the overall gaming experience ragged and uncomfortable. In the case of the modified RTX 3070, the same figures are 64 fps and 48 fps, respectively, that is, there are no problems with smoothness.
Simply put, if the RTX 3070 had 16GB, or at least 12GB of memory, it would perform much better. The problem is that we are talking about a 3D card from just two years ago, which at one time came out at a price of $ 500, and a game that was launched only in Full HD +.
