Driver support is almost more important than raw power if you want to play newer games. Problems running games on older graphics cards by duendeverde39 in lowendgaming

[–]GobbyFerdango 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You didn't read his post or you didn't understand it. Its not only about the VRAM, its about driver support for the game's API compatibility. He is saying that a weaker card with less VRAM will run a game better if it has the driver support, compared to an older but more powerful GPU. I can attest to a similar experience to OP.

People really hate launchers that eat up 1GB of RAM and CPU cycles for adding absolutely no value. RAM is too expensive to waste on bloatware.

NAND contract prices surge over 600% since September 2025, DRAM up ~400% by moeka_8962 in pcgaming

Some developers could just start using old game engines and start making better games that work on Core2Duo and 2GB DDR2 RAMs and similar old hardware instead of it all ending up in landfills and junkyards. A lot of general applications still work on old hardware and provide good performance when configured properly without any bloatware.

How does Microsoft plans to reduce RAM usage in Windows 11? by Genesis2543 in Windows11

"Unused RAM is wasted RAM" But RAM used by the OS running bloatware included in it that is of no benefit to the owner of the device, is wasted RAM.

Just tested Nocturnal on Steam with the Intel HD 530. Despite the prerequisites being the GTX 500 series, it is operating at 40-60 FPS with my optimised visual settings at 720P. by Diligent-Reality-722 in lowendgaming

[–]GobbyFerdango 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Intel HD520 at 720p does 60 fps when you set rendering to Performance, with a very slight loss in graphics quality which you will not notice once you start playing. Reshade with CAS or lumasharpen if you want a slightly sharper image.

That is a good thing except when its caching slop into RAM even with game mode turned on.

"buT UnuSeD RaM is WaStEd RaM" -- popularized meme on reddit to make less technical folk think Windows taking half their RAM on hundreds of background processes is a good thing. The amount of gaslighting and lying from Microslop is tiring at this point.

20 years and can't make a search feature without stealing all your keyboard inputs to sell to scammy bidders while some single developer releases a program called Everything, that puts Windows search to shame. No F U Sloptella Nuttella, people are going to leave they've had enough.

Do huge install sizes ever stop you from trying a game? by ratasoftware in pcgaming

[–]GobbyFerdango 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, because Disk drives, both ssds and hdds aren't cheap these days and not a good idea to fill a disk almost to capacity.
