00:00The people saying that 8GB cards is absolutely not enough for PC gaming in 2026
00:04are the people sitting there not on 8GB cards.
00:07It's just like, well, that's coming from a place of a smug face.
00:09It's like the Steam Deck.
00:10I think the Steam Deck's a prime example of like underpowered system,
00:13horribly underpowered system by today's standards.
00:15And it's still the way that so many people play, you know.
00:18I know people that bought them for their kids and stuff like that
00:21because it's a really cheap way into PC gaming
00:23that's getting them engaged with the platform, the games,
00:26and enjoying the time with it.
00:27I mean, it's super underpowered.
00:29I'm using really old architectures now.
00:31And it's great and it works perfectly.
00:32And I just think you can make do with it with a lot less.
00:35I think that's also the thing that we can be really guilty of forgetting about
00:38because we're so keyed into the next big thing,
00:42the next new architecture, the next new technology coming through,
00:46the next new pretty feature that's going into games and stuff
00:50that's going to be a real GPU resource hog.
00:53But the real beauty of PC gaming is that there is no one-size-fits-all.
00:57We have these massive settings screens in our games for a reason.
01:01So you can run games on really low-spec hardware.
