The tantrum over 970 has gotten even sillier since Microsoft used exactly this same bus structure (with fast/slow segments) on the Xbox series X and S.

That’s a product designed and manufactured by AMD, eight?

It would be consistent to complain about both, although games have to be specifically ported to Xbox so they can work around hardware quirks. And I would give the blame to MS since they control the high-level design.

The 970 was amazing for gaming; the 3.5GB problem was just for CUDA.

I literally just replaced my GTX 970 a week ago. Fantastic GPU, lasted me a good ten years. Baldur's Gate 3 finally got me to update it, which it could run it but I dunno a new game got me excited. It ran Elden Ring just fine last year though.

10 year GPUs would be the norm from here onwards.

It's a tough game. Gotta have the guts to get in and stay in
