Is it naive to hope we might get better optimization as a result of the RAM supply crunch? Is it even possible to optimise (as opposed to use lower resolution textures?) for lower VRAM?
Thankfully I am CPU bound both for gaming and hobbies. I really hope AMD re-releases the 5800X3D or even a 5900X3D, a new AM5 build doesn’t sound like a realistic proposition any time soon.
I also wonder how AMD will react (raise price for the 9070 and the 16 GB 9060?).
This will definitely trigger optimization in the long run, but it may be a couple years before we see this user-side, maybe around the time of the next generation of consoles. What we will need to see first is developers feeling the strain of memory prices, and seeing how stuff was so cheap for so long it’ll be at least a little bit.
