Most Common Desktop GPU

RTX 3060 with 12 GB VRAM accounts for 3.92% of Steam hardware, making this the most accessible high-end consumer GPU for local AI inference.

Production Limitations

While the model excels at rapid prototyping, real-world testing found inconsistencies in self-correction and code quality. Production games require human design, playtesting, optimization, and quality assurance beyond what autonomous generation provides.
