Discussion What is the minimum dGPU and VRAM for gaming 2019.

[VirtualLarry]

How does the GTX 1060 6GB fare today in late 2020? Maybe not good enough for Cyberpunk 2077, maybe not even good enough for RDR2 or RotTR. But worth $100 used to purchase? I have an offer in for one for that price.

(For someone, a friend, that currently has a GTX 1050 2GB that is apparently failing.) 1080P gamer, Sandy Bridge quad-core, 16GB of DDR3, SSD.

I ran 1080p Medium/High mixed settings on a R9 290 4GB in Breakpoint just fine, a 7870 2GB did a mix of Low/Medium settings at 1600x900, however once I saw my cousin playing it like that I bought him a 580 8GB.

Neither my RX 470 4GB or 290X could run that without stuttering.

Just for the hell of it I put a Powercolor R9 290 PCS+ 4GB (Stock) into a 3600X (Stock), X570, 32GB 3600MHz, Sabrent PCIe 4 NVMe SSD and ran some Breakpoint (Vulkan) benchmarks at preset levels (AF @ x16 only change). 20.8.3 drivers.

Min - AVG - MAX
Medium: 49, 61, 103
High: 41, 56, 99
Verry High: 36, 49, 82 (setting where stutters appear)
