>And 8GB is more than enough, heck if AMD memory management worked as in dev's would've used it then 4GB is enough for 4K even today, there are plenty of GDC talks about it and how some games on average only accessed 3GB of memory for a given level the biggest ones were from Doom and Witcher 3 iirc.
It's "enough" because it has to be. Game developers need to constantly pay attention to these budgets because people who play their games have hardware with limited performance. If everyone had more of a resource then none of them would say no to that particularly now that GPU compute is becoming more popular in games.
- dogma1138 8y agoIf the Witcher 3 team found they actually accessed just over 3GB of memory within a given stream window then yes while its true that it’s all about managing resources this isn’t an issue that requires compromise just yet. Doom had a similar talk, resource management is a key factor in game development. GPU compute is a completely different issue.
