> I've been seeing reports of TLOU PC port choking on cards with 10gb of vram, only getting decent once you crest 12gb.

That seems more because devs didn't do a good job in porting a 10 year old game (released in 2013) that ran perfectly fine on a PS3, which only had 256MB of system RAM and 256MB of VRAM. The PC TLOU port is not advancing the state-of-the-art in graphics, it should not be seen as a sign of the new normal.

TLOU Part I != TLOU (2013). It's a complete remake from the ground up built off of TLOU Part II engine enhancements. Your point still stands that it's a bad port as it runs on the PS5 just fine and shouldn't be choking decently spec'd PCs.

I believe what's being spoken about is the PC port of the recently released TLOU remake, which is native to the PS5 and designed to leverage its hardware fully. It's still a bad port, but not so bad that it's a 10 year old game struggling to run on a current generation PC.
