8GB VRAM is only fine if you plan to play esports titles in 1080p low or use the GPU for media stuff in the living room.

This might be NVidias worst generation since I got into PC’s 15 years ago. Shit drivers, 8gb models for stupid prices and the higher end models legit just catch fire or melt their power connectors. Nvidia now has the C and D team doing their consumer GPU department.

Wild ain’t it, Intel and Nvidia isn’t the way to go anymore
AMD has pretty much monopoly in the gaming market
Then look at steam OS Vs windows, shits changing bruh

My 3080 still play everything nicely at 1440p with 10gb vram

Yeah, it’s pretty pathetic that we’re still on 8gb vram as the minimum vram. Should be at least 12 or 16, with high end models at 24 and 32.

4060 for $300 feels less terrible now

Battlemage isn’t perfect and still has a long way to go but IMHO people are sleeping on this card

We were there 10 years ago. My 1070 cost 400usd and has 8GB.

I own a 8gb graphics card that was not well received by the audience and let’s just say that I am really pleased and satisfied with it. I don’t understand why some people are trying to push everyone into convincing them that a graphics card with 8gb of vram is trash and won’t last you long. And most importantly it won’t perform well. Remind you that not everyone is going to play on 2k ultra settings w RT and PT on. Most people still own a 1080p monitor , and for such resolution, an 8gb graphics card is still a great choice

I mean, just because my 3060 with 12 GB VRAM is holding up, doesn’t mean it’s gonna play everything at max settings but once it goes? I may hop the fence and go to AMD because of the pricing alone makes since
I am a huge nvidia fan but the 50 series doesn’t make sense anymore – at least to me.
Im sure I’ll catch downvotes but, I miss the 16 and 20 series because it was affordable, made sense and didn’t catch fire ( I still have a 1650 in a Linux box that is holding up well for ‘basic’ shit) – fuck give back the 1080

I still can’t comprehend that rx580 from 2017 had 8gb around at 300$ back then.

This is like 100% the reason I havent updated my gpu in 6 years

In 2015 I remember my MSI Gaming AMD R9 390 8GB was $300. Having 8GB vram back then was seen as overkill and made it age well. I remember the Nvidia 970 4GB would sell for $400 back then. Nvidia always came with higher price. I just miss the days when the price difference was $100, not thousands of dollars. Now I can’t even think of having an rtx 5090, that thing cost as much as a used car now.

Yup, just buy a second hand 3060 for $200 and enjoy

To compare, gaming or general graphics cards with 16GB now include the AMD 6800 and 6800xt range, now half a decade old from 2020.
4060 ti performance with 12 GB for 300€ is the real steal

My 6700 10GB was $250 just 2 years ago.
I’ve been putting off upgrading to a whole new PC for a while but the prices are just insane right now.

Fk it, I’ll say it. 90% of the games I have played runs perfectly fine with 8GB, the 10% who need more than 8GB are mostly unoptimized games that relied on DLSS, FSR, frame Gen. Depends on what type of gamer and budget, 8GB option for $400 IS perfectly fine, for many people.

Enthusiast graphics cards had 16GB [almost a decade ago ](https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/?memsize=16%20GB&sort=name)eg Nvidia Tesla P100, Quadro P5000, GP100.. all from 2016, and AMD Radeon Instinct MI25 from 2017.
