Starfield seems set to become the latest "will it run Crysis" meme. It's brutal on GPUs and I'll be interested in the CPU requirements given BGS games are notoriously greedy in that area.
Fun game to play though, just dial down the settings on your laptop, probably medium at best.
The OTP gets sent on dispatch, not on delivery day (unless it's same day). You will need to contact PCS and ask them the procedure at their end. It's quite likely they've come across it before.
Not the worst card from Nvidia of late and decent power to performance. Probably just sway towards the AMD but if you are borderline on PSU then perhaps Nvidia.
OK so I'll play devil's advocate. Both the 3060 and 2060 show big increases. Both have 12GB memory. Coincidence?
Edit: BTW I'm not saying that would be a good choice to make!
But the trend is always more of everything, not less. It may stabilise for a while but for new AAA games going forward 8GB is going to be entry level. For high settings with RT 12-16Gb will be the norm within 12 months.
Probably a bit of both. The decision is easy at the moment for mid range gaming, i.e. buy AMD and force Nvidia to up their game. Unfortunately if you aren't at all technical minded then you may end up buying the wrong card.
Watch the video above. You will have to seriously dial down the settings of some current and most future games due to the VRAM limit of 8GB. Basically in 12 months it will be obsolete for new AAA games.
