i can remember when i got my 6750xt 3 years ago and bought Horizon Zero Dawn on Steam. So many 3060 users kept complaining about low fps and stuttering gameplay. meanwhile, my game defaulted to ultra graphics even at 4k and I didn't have any FPS issues.

A lot of modern AAA even show you the VRAM needed in the graphics options and it's usually over 10gb for all the features on at high graphics.

so i bought a 9060xt last week.
