A retrospective look at the 3GB version of the GTX 1050. (YT, RandomGamingInHD)

Kind of interesting. Surprising to see TLoU and Hogwarts, playing on a 3GB VRAM card, given the hubbub about how they "don't play" on 8GB modern cards.

The above statement is a false narrative. It also completely ignores the performance patches the games have gotten since release.

I wouldn't call the inability to hold a locked 30 at 1080 lowest settings playable either. 1717x966 in The last of Us. Now, try the same runs with 16GB of ram; a much more realistic amount for users with a GPU like that, and watch what happens to the 1s and .1s. They are already terrible, but they will get even worse. He isn't even testing in challenging areas of the games either. I am going to just say the quip about 8GB cards is hyperbole at best, fake news at worst, and leave it at that.
