vram

video card question for GCIII

Do I want the card to provide more speed. ex RTX 2070 instead of a RTX 2070 MaxQ

or is it more important to have the amount of vram up there. a 2070 with 8 gigs vs a 2060 with 6 gigs.

If I was dripping in money I would want both but real life says spend wisely.

Let me suggest that the video card is the least factor in game performance. You won't notice a difference in GCIII with any of those cards.

But it is still relevant.

I already want to get a 9th gen CPU and 32 RAM using a RAID0 of SSDs

I would always go with more VRam tbh, if it is not used by GC3 you will use it for other games/applications.

I trust TechReports.

https://techreport.com/review/3464684/nvidias-rtx-super-and-amds-radeon-rx-5700-series-graphics-cards-reviewed/

In the $300-400 range, it’s difficult to imagine recommending anything besides the Radeon RX 5700. It absolutely mashes the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti, and creeps up on the RTX 2060 Super surprisingly often. Once you get up to $400, it’s definitely a toss-up between the Radeon RX 5700XT and GeForce RTX 2060 Super.

If you have more money than Trump, read the article for selection.
