At least they could have opted for something in-between - 16-18GBs would have been sufficient for the 2080ti so that the Titan RTX's VRAM would make more sense.I honestly expected 22-24GB on the 2080Ti but was disappointed when it released with only 11, it should have for the price they are asking.
What it shows is that only 8% of respondents do not meet the minimum VRAM requirement for 0.990, and only 27% do not meet the recommended requirement (i.e. 73% of respondents have 4 GB or more of VRAM). So even with the increased VRAM demands of 0.990, the vast majority of people can still run it. Honestly I'm surprised to find that so many people do have so much VRAM on their cards. If your point is that not all people have 8+ GB, then obviously they don't, and no one would expect otherwise, but the fact that 34% do have that much means that it's not all that rare. Certainly more common than I would have expected.
Well said.And this is precisely the reason NVidia is not going to see a single cent from me unless they release something that is worth it. (Unless I win the lottery and buy a Titan RTX ).
On the other hand I like this questionnaire: It comes to show that not all people are willing (or can afford) to have monster GPUs. [Which is a good thing] as Space Engineer (and other game devs) will try even harder to squeeze better visuals on less memory and may even have the power to influence the market and the big companies like NVidia to reconsider their pricing policies.
27% is not insignificant. It is almost 1/3 of the sample. Ok it is less than that but still it is significant IMHO.What it shows is that only 8% of respondents do not meet the minimum VRAM requirement for 0.990, and only 27% do not meet the recommended requirement (i.e. 73% of respondents have 4 GB or more of VRAM).

EDIT: The results as of now:

Coincidentally, My HD 6470M with only 512MB of VRAM, too. but at 1366×768 resolution, 0.980e running FPS is not too bad (0.980e FPS looks like 0.980 higher)I have 512 mb of vram. But I can run 980.
Yes. You should choose the "8 GB" option in the poll above, if you haven't done it yet.
NVidia like other crony corporations have draconian policies which now also applies to journalists and disclosure. So I'm sticking with my 6 GB 1060 GTX for awhile.This:
