Definitely not a VRAM thing - I play with a 3090 (24gb) and get tons of hitching. Haven’t had the chance to try on apple silicon but I suspect the performance is due to the really strong CPU cores. NMS is a very cpu intensive game.
Ok surely it's not VRAM. But my cpu is a 12700k, and while it's not the fastest anymore, you would think it's enough for this game. It's using some fairly standard DDR4 ram, though. Not the fastest nor the slowest. I do wonder if memory bandwidth speed has anything to do with it, but it's all speculation.
