I was using a Rx 6800 on Indian Jones 4k with medium Ray tracing high settings using FSR. No issues, crashes etc ( Running above 60 to 80 fps ). I found an open box Rtx 4070 super today for a good price and thought it might be a nice step up . Boy was I fucking wrong, 4k .. kind of fine with lower settings because of Vram no biggie. Well I go medium settings, dlss balanced, Ray tracing to lowest setting and it crashes everytime with error Vram Allocation lmao. Wtf, without Ray tracing it's fine, but damn I really proved myself wrong big time. Minium should be 16gb, I'm on the band wagon. I told multiple friends and even on Reddit that it's horseshit.. but it's not at all. Granted without Ray tracing it's fine, but I still can't crank the settings at all without issues. My Rx 6800, high settings lowest Ray tracing not a damn issue. Rant over, I'm going to stick with team red and get a open box 6950xt refrence for 400 tomorrow and take this back.
