You need to give some love to games like Hollow Knight, Noita and Triangle Strategy. The triple-A game scene will be getting worse soon.
This is what happens when investors are your real customers. Sure as well hope that TES6 be cancelled. Because it will suck anyway, now that we've seen how their space game was absolute garbage.
Anyways, if you remember the shared memory tech used in Xbox and older PlayStations, which made use of the AMD processors, they used to have shared RAM for CPU and GPU. Those were primitive tech, and limited to atmost 2 or 4GB. I've heard that AMD is bringing that for PCs, desktop and laptop alike, so the performance gains may be really phenomenal. This one is be called the Strix Halo, aka the Medusa Point, and right now, it is being tested for cache and RAM sharing (I think, I may be wrong tho) - it's called the Infinity Fabric or something.
But you'll have to wait till 2025.
Metroidvania is cringe, but I'm literally playing Celeste right now, having just finished Tactics Ogre, and then I'm gonna play Fata Morgana. I agree, but if that's your bag then you don't need to consider any of this. A GTX 1050Ti will suffice for that, the point of stressing about big games running is future proofing. The last AAA game I bought was Doom Eternal, so I'm not that fussed, was only curious about APUs as a console alternative.
Yeah Bethesda's last good game was before the 2008 recession, I would laugh if TES6 got canned. Skyrim was fuuuckin shiiit!
I would be hesitant of getting hyped for any memory sharing stuff AMD talks about--back when they were still doing Modules with shared elements in Bulldozer and Piledriver architectures, their APU line featured a bit of this functionality with the Mantle API - Heterogenous System Architecture, or HSA for short. AMD talked a lot of shit about how cool it was for the processor and graphics parts of the APU to access the same memory, and how cool it was that they would be treated "equally" computationally. They dropped this idea hardcore when Ryzen launched because it was basically a GPU-shaped crutch for their garbage CPUs, and the marketing talk was all cope, lol
