    it is in everyway. When you actually try the game i'll consider your opinion.

    but I've seen it, in screenshots and videos.

    you haven't played more than two-three rt games out of the list of 78 I posted yet you had no problem with saying it's not worth it for the rest.
    even though you probably never even saw most.

    again,the hipocrisy.........

    fc6 is an evolution, but really, it's nothing revolutionary.

    Thats true i didnt try many but i did try those that matters. Metro, Control, Dying Light 2. I did installed Far Cry 6 and Resident Evil 2/3 rt update. What else do you have in mind?

    what I have in mind is to have fairly objective criteria
    not this crap
    i've seen the game, it's enough to judge.
    and it doesn't take playing it to know it's the same old dunia engine.

    really, at least try to be objective at times.

    It also doesn't work correctly on my 3060 12GB (at least not with RT active at the same time), because that crap game isn't utilizing more than 80% of VRAM allocation. And it's not comparable to CoD/Warzone, that, despite of the 80% allocation limit, still utilizes the whole physical amount of VRAM. I.e. driver metrics show ~12GB of allocation, whereas FC6 tries to get below ~9.5GB most of the time with the 3060.
    Some games like WD Legion or Fortnite have rather fixed VRAM allocation values that they try not to exceed (dumb too...), but the behavior of FC6 gets worse the less VRAM your card got installed.

    I wonder how somebody can manage to put together code that compiles and runs and then has such ret*rded ideas? Some game devs should just get punched. Hard. Well, not just some, but probably all of Ubisoft.

    12g cards have missing textures too ? good grief.... we need 16gb for 1440p now, it's the future (of being conned by ubisoft, again and again)

    At least there are far more slowdowns when the game throws data out of the VRAM with still >2GB left unallocated.

    6.5-7gb for 1440p uw no hd textures. Runs around 75fps maxed out with rt reflections and shadows enabled.

    I think you need 12GB without RT to avoid most streaming slowdowns and quality issues in 1440p. Though the engine seems to be overwhelmed with streaming the highres textures without any slowdowns also with sufficient VRAM. So you might wanna play without them even with 16GB if you prefer better frame time consistency over better textures. I also found the 6 HD texture pack to be far less impressive than that for New Dawn (which had bad VRAM management and streaming stutter too, but the Nvidia D3D11 driver could handle that ok).

    Its not like HD texures are needed at all here from what i've seen base textures(high) are almost identical. RT like always increases the vram usage thats why i always disliked these "rtx capable" 8gb cards like 2080/3060ti/3070.

    good grief 12gb for 1440p no rt
    on a modified far cry 3 engine
    and even 16gb will struggle with streaming them
    who else but ubisoft

    meanwhile cyberpunk needs 8gb with all rt effects on and control needs 6

    progress

    this is an issue, in the aspect of buying a new vga these days....ur forced to go to spend on high end ones because of the vram requirements...

    If you don't have at least 16gb of vram these days you might as well not be gaming, go AMD 6800+ or RTX 3090+, the rest is just budget tier trash.

    Nah, 8GB on 3070 works fine in Ultrawide. People are sadly misled if they think they need everything maxed, and even wrongly believing that they will see the difference

    I thought that my comment was so over the top and stupid that I wouldn't need a sarcasm tag at the end but I guess there are enough people that believe such asinine things as what I (jokingly) stated that I should have known better. You're right of course.

    This game is actually quite good with some mods to improve enemy detection distance and speed and the graphics are beautiful, my favorite far cry destination so far. (I was being serious in this last sentence :)).

    It works for now but i also have 8gb on a ultrawide and many games are right on the edge or in this case and few others not able to run hd textures.

    Of course lots of people believe they need the highest number, this is of course how just about any industry works to lure the money out of the folks :)
