Playable on a 3070?

[DohkoLibra]

I just want to know if this is finally playable on a 3070, so I can buy the game or it is just a forget it type of deal at this point?

ye, but u will need 32 gb ram, and a good CPU ryzen 5600+ above, if u havent 32 gb ram, u will have some stutering

yes I have a 3070 ti (8 gb Vram) 32 GB or RAM and I7-9700K and it works well but you need a better CPU then mine, I heard 12th or 13th Gen CPU is good as game is CPU Intensive. Also make sure you have more Ram as I have noticed it uses more then 17gb of Ram on settings dev stated should work only on 16.

Yes, perfectly playable assuming you have a good CPU like said above.
I have i7 10700K stock clock, 32GB RAM 3200Mhz, RTX3070 slightly OC (+125/+900).

Nope You need better specs if you want high or ultra settings. At 1080p max setting this game can use 14GB of VRAM

You don't need Ultra for the game to be playable. High is good enough in this game (matches PS5).

The biggest drawback with the 3070 is the VRAM...

Hardware Unboxed has in fact made a video where they clearly show the limitation of 8GB VRAM at 1080p where the frame timing gets really bad due to the VRAM bottleneck. Even with 12GB it can manage somehow.

Nowadays 12GB VRAM is the bare minimum you should be looking at and 16GB is recommended (AMD cards have 16GB on their 6800/6900 models). The high end cards ofc have 24GB which is a lot but is meant for 4K gaming which will consume far more.

this is how it ran for me with a i7-12700k + 3070 @ 1080p + High settings + 16GB DDR4 @ 3600

you can see ram usage is around 11.5GB so 16 is ok, keep other apps/programs that are running that eat into your ram to a minimum

afaik they improved vram paging so it won't drop to 1fps but you will still see drops to 40fps or below when textures overloads the vram, it also stutters when changing regions but that happens with all gpus, if you don't want your vram to go above 8gb, medium textures are required, they're kinda ugly but it seems very playable yea, I woudn't buy it yet, they might fix it or find a way to compress higher quality textures, the stuttering when changing areas will likely be fixed, but for this price tag? nah, got it so much cheaper on my ps4 and it performs and looks better than what I saw in videos with medium textures with our gpu + r7 5700x or 13700k, play something else for a while, arkham knight eventually got fixed and was sold for pennies, tlou will be no different, what makes me a little scared is that uncharted still performs 7/10 and it's also ported with iron galaxy's "help", they don't seem to bother fixing it anymore so this one might get the same fate, hard to tell

You have some good answers at the top of this thread. 3070 is perfectly playable adjusting some settings. 2440, DLSS Balanced, three main Texture settings on High and everything a mix of High, some ultra, and just a few Mediums. Stable 60 fps. Though you need at least a CPU equivalent to mine, i7 10700 because it makes use of it to asset streaming and decompression.

No you don't, don't spread false info, I finished the game two times on my 3070 on High/Ultra combo with 60+fps.

[episoder]

yeh. lots of misinformation out there.

the 3070 should play damn well on high/ultra settings. probably not all ultra textures tho. more high textures. that's the vram limitation. even tho the texture manager was upgraded i don't think it can pull it off all the time. or you'll need a good amount of ram for it to manage the texture cache. or you will see stuttering.
