NVIDIA Geforce RTX 4070 expected to be announced tomorrowRecently, most graphics card news has been washed out by NVIDIA. Perhaps AMD does not want to be overtaken by competitors. Earlier, AMD’s official blog shared an article about enthusiasts choosing graphics cards, which particularly emphasized the message that “display memory is as important as performance” and revealed that AMD graphics card prices now have a high advantage.
On the eve of the release of RTX 4070, AMD reminded players that “display memory is very important, the more the better, and now the CP value of its own graphics cards is high.”
Earlier, AMD shared an article on the blog “Are you an enthusiast?” The content mainly explained the impact of graphics cards on the gaming experience. However, unlike previous tests of game FPS, the main focus of this article was on “display memory”. AMD believes that today’s games have very high requirements for display memory.
遊戲工作室正在推出能充分利用現代硬體的新遊戲，將通過電影品質的紋理、複雜的著色器和更高解析度的輸出來增強您的遊戲體驗，但是這些新進步需要充足的顯示記憶體（GDDR）才能確保遊戲能夠正常運行。如果您要為 1440p 或 4K 畫質組裝一台頂級的遊戲機，那麼您需要確保您的顯示卡配備足夠的顯示記憶體（GDDR），才能支援最新以及未來的遊戲。
The picture below is what AMD shared. The requirements for display memory of “Castle 4”, “The Last of Us™ Part I”, and “Hogwarts Legacy” in 4K quality are more than 10GB, and it can even be said that at least 16GB is enough. In addition, you can also pay attention to the difference between RT enabled and disabled. Taking “Castle of Evil 4” as an example, the difference between the two is 5GB. This means that if you hope that this game console can also meet the new display technology of future games, then you cannot choose the “just good version” of the display memory, but find a larger one to be safer:
These three games have 1440p and 1080p image quality requirements for display memory, and AMD also recommends suitable graphics cards. At present, the Radeon RX 6800 series with 16GB of memory can fully meet:
And now the Radeon RX 6800 series is also very cheap, starting at only US$499, which means that at a price of about NT15,000, you can buy a graphics card with 16GB of memory:
Although AMD did not mention the RTX 4070 in this article, it is published at this time. In addition, the RTX 4070 is currently rumored to be equipped with 12GB display memory and has a recommended price of US$599, which is worse than the RX 6800. Therefore, it is difficult not to think that it is secretly criticizing the RTX 4070 (laughs). In any case, although memory is indeed important, it is not absolute. Other specifications of the graphics card are also very important. What is certain is that if you want to run games with image quality above 1440p today, you must have at least 8GB or more, and 12GB is safer.
AMD has still shared the performance comparison of the same level of RX 6000 series vs RTX 30 series. For those who are interested in learning more,You can click me to read the full article：
