Beyond All Reason mentioned! I love that game, probably my favorite RTS. I love playing with friends against the AI. I have no real interest in online PvP because it stresses me out, but even without that there’s plenty of fun to be had with BAR. A must try for any fans of Total Annihilation, Supreme Commander, Planetary Annihilation, etc. and actually die RTS fans in general.

I know that 8GB is too little. NVIDIA is really stingy when it comes to VRAM unfortunately. Beack when I made the decision this 3070Ti was the most expensive I could buy and I needed CUDA for some projects I was working on. Back then AMD’s ROCm had bad support on consumer GPUs and also in libraries, so I didn’t have a choice. I’m hearing better noises now though, so maybe my next card will be AMD.

Either way, I’d expect at most the game to crash. That would be acceptable, though annoying. Preferably it’d use the RAM as a sort of swap, which would grind everything to a halt but wouldn’t outright kill the game or my desktop. I really shouldn’t be losing all open windows
