Buzzer1977 Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Hi, as the shipment of my HP Reverb G2 ist getting closer and AMD, Intel and NVidia came up with all their new stuff i think it's time for me to build a new rig. I'm quite sure i'm going with AMD on the CPU, but i'm still thinking about the GPU. My thoughts about the GPU at the moment are the following: The 2 displays of the Reverb G2 with 2160 x 2160 each might be hungry at VRAM and from my experience DCS likes a good chunk of VRAM for textures too. The RX 6800 XT will comes with 16GB while the RTX 3080 only comes with 10GB and AMD offers memory sharing between the CPU and the GPU which might enable something like tranparently swapping VRAM by the driver to the RAM in the future. Are these assumptions allright or did i miss something or get something wrong ?
