Just curious what your thoughts were. With Poll.
Keeping in mind, AAA Console ports may have been written with certain minimum VRAM capability in mind too.
What brought this about was, Newegg had a 4GB GTX 1650 Super (refurb) on SS today for $259.99, and I almost bought one. But the fact that it still hadn't sold-out immediately, gave me pause too. I ultimately decided against it. Mostly, because brand-new RTX 3060 12GB GDDR6 cards are becoming available @ $329-450.
I started to think, how much of a "dead-end" are 4GB GTX 1650-family cards? Then I started to think of them, basically as slightly-faster GTX 1050 ti 4GB cards.
Are they still in any way viable? Yeah, they'll play Fortnite and Roblox... but will they play much else?
