I don't think you understand what a strawman is.That's the weakest straw-man I've seen from you and that's saying something...

I don't think you understand anything. According to you VRAM exists but has no function, which raises the question why is it present at all on GPUS? and also that it is impossible to run out of VRAM...

See? Now that's a strawman. I never said it has no function, you are just making stuff up at this point.I don't think you understand anything.

LMAO here's your own post...
"Vram is irrelevant, it could have 500 megabytes for all I care."
Irrelevant and you'd therefore happily buy a card with 500MB because it doesn't matter...
So, from your own statements - 1. VRAM is irrelevant 2. You can't exceed 8GB of VRAM (
) 3. An amount of VRAM (500MB) from 2008 is entirely sufficient for today as VRAM doesn't matter...
NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GT Specs
NVIDIA G92, 600 MHz, 112 Cores, 56 TMUs, 16 ROPs, 512 MB GDDR3, 900 MHz, 256 bit
And another strawman, you are on a roll. The fact that you keep cherrypicking and putting words in my mouth that i never said not only prove you are wrong, but also that you know that you are wrong,, else you would be arguing with what I actually saidLMAO here's your own post...

If a 500 megabyte vram card is faster than a 20000 terabyte vram card, ill take the 500 megabyte card any day every day. Performance is what I buy with my money, not specs. 3090 has more vram than 4080, does it matter?

Those are the actual words you wrote...a direct quote. Once again for the hard of reading - "Vram is irrelevant, it could have 500 megabytes for all I care."
Can you continue with the next sentence?Those are the actual words you wrote...a direct quote. Once again for the hard of reading - "Vram is irrelevant, it could have 500 megabytes for all I care."

Have you understood the last one yet?
Im still on fence about whether 8gb VRAM is a hinderance. If we remember most gamers on steam do not have over 8gb VRAM then I dont see game devs in a hurry to push requirements above that.
Perhaps the 8gb is only relevant at 4k gaming? I havent seen conclusive evidence that right now, 8gb is no good.
Will 8gb be "unplayable" for new games in 2 years?

Most gamers on Steam are running 10 year only systems playing 10 year old games.

Would you like to pay £500 to find out?
No-one would claim 8GB is "no good" but there are already plenty of games which exceed it, and going forward 8GB is going to become increasingly problematic. I would not be spending hundreds of quid on something already tottering on the edge of being less than ideal. That does not make sense.
Both PS5 and XBOX series X have 16GB VRAM at £500, let that sink in, and NV want nearly that amount for 8GB and just a GPU at that...I had a 8GB card 5 years ago that cost £150...

You dont need to be on the fence. The 3060ti is meant for 1440p and dlss for heavier games. Your problem is never going to be vram with that card.
I still remember the outcry with the 3gb 1060. I had that card, alongside a 1060 6gb. Changed them both at the same time cause raster performnace stinked way before the 3gb was an issue. I still remeber, the only game that had issues due to vram was.... Pubg with ultra textures. The game looked ugly regardless. I mean logically, whats the absolute worst that can happen, drop textures from ultra to high in some game 3 years down the lane? Big whoop.

Or don't compomise and don't lower settings...it's up to you really. I personally love all my textures set to as high as possible and all those mods and texture packs in my games...
Why compromise after spending half a G on GPU?

I'm having to do that now, on a 2070 Super.

85% of GPU's in the steam hardware survey are 8GB or less.
The only card(s) in the top 40 GPU with more than 8GB is the 3080(Ti)
8GB gaming is so completely dead
I expect it's only an issue for 4k, high res textures, though personally I find moving the sliders a notch down from placebo works just fine.
Resizable bar and a decent amount of fast system memory helps

There is a slight hitching when entering new areas when you're on the or over the VRam limit, but its not that bad. At least if you run a fast NVMe.
The real problem is this.

If you ignore that warning message the game will eventually turn from a very good looking game to a very bad looking game, really horrible road-surface and missing textures in the folage.

My 3060ti did not like Anno 1800, Cities: Skylines, or SKYRIM made playable by today's graphical standards either...
And that was 2 years ago...

How many of them spent £500 on a GPU recently? or ever?
But your framerate is already dropping below 60. If you use settings that wont drop your framerates to 60, you won't have those issues will you?--------------------
