It's not that simple. Some of the best texture work that I've ever seen have no problem fitting on 8GB cards.
What AMD does with it's partnered games regarding textures and VRAM is very dubious.

AMD are separating the analogue functions from the logic functions in GPU's.
Because analogue lithography is no longer shrinking in line with logic, in fact its no longer shirking at all, as a result the analogue functions are taking up ever more space in the die.
By taking the analogue functions out they can manufacture that on older cheaper nodes, because it makes no difference anyway and they can just glue those analogue functions to the logic as needed.
Nvidia engineers.
Hey Jenson, analogue lithography is no longer shrinking, that's a problem, too much of the analogue functions are talking up die space.
Lether Jacket man: so what? just take some out then and tell people Moores Law is dead.
Engineers: so 128Bit bus on the ##60 class and 192Bit on the ##70 class?
Lether Jacket man: the more you buy the more you save, woosh...... i am the sound effects.
I think he's already lost his toys.

No doubt, yet that is not that simple.
Can you give me an example and i'll explain why.

Sorry to be that pedantic A hole but it's not that they're no longer shrinking, it's that node shrinks are not seeing the same performance gains as the logic blocks / as they used to in the past.

CPU and GPU SRAM caches are not shrinking, which could increase chip cost or reduce performance
Nearly all processors rely on some form of SRAM caching. Caches act as a high speed storage solution with very fast access times due to their strategic...

I don't really need to as I've already read about how analogue blocks have ceased scaling well with node shrinks, it's not that they're no longer shrinking. All the monolithic dies that are out there (Intel, Nvidia) are proof that you can still shrink analogue blocks, it's not a matter of can't as what you posted implied (at least to me), it's a matter of there being little to no benefit.Read thatCPU and GPU SRAM caches are not shrinking, which could increase chip cost or reduce performance

My stopgap GPU... still on it!I can't take you seriously, you bought an RTX 3050.
Really need far more VRAM since I almost only play modded Skyrim. The good news for me is that I got the 3050 at the Giddo special price, and by some miracle it hasn't devalued that much.

I didn't imply it, i said it, a 14nm analogue shrank about 50% from 28nm, 3nm analogue is about 10% smaller than 5nm, beyond that it barley moves at all.
Jenson has talked about this himself.
Nvidia's special source to get around it is.... just don't have it, the fact that Jenson stands on stage and says Moores Law is dead was him warrning you you're going to get a 4nm GPU that's no better than an 8nm GPU for the same money.

Still a fair uplift 30% over previous gen at each tier.

Is Nvidia going to be monolithic for the foreseeable then?
I'm not going to bother after this reply as like i said i was being pedantic, however you've got this very, very, wrong. 14nm shrank about 50% from 28nm, 3nm is about 10% smaller than 5nm irregardless of whether you're talking about logic or analog blocks, it did that because a reduction in size has nothing to do with whether that block is analogue or logic, you could, indeed Intel and Nvidia are manufacturing, analogue circuits on 10nm & 4nm.
What's started to happen is that when analog circuits are shrunk they're no longer seeing the same or even any performance improvements by going from something like 6nm to 4nm, performance improvements that you still get from shrinking a logic circuit, you no longer get the same scaling.
Shrinking logic circuits from 6 to 4nm gets you (pulling a number out my ass) a 20% improvement in performance, doing the same with an analog circuit will get you 2%.

BTW not sure this has been covered.

Worst in over 20 years.
I would imagine that is why they don't want to release another card no one is going to buy. There are already plenty of them sitting out there gathering dust. It's also why they are slashing prices on what is already made and out there, rather than just introducing more and more.

Oof. Desktop GPU sales are down almost 40% year-to-year
Recent reports from Jon Peddie Research show a big tumble in discrete graphics card shipments—and the numbers aren’t predicted to improve yet.

Bah. LOL.
They could use AI to tell them why they're not selling.

Not enough multibuy deals, obv.

Maybe it's like the 7500F, full DIY in China, but only OEM everywhere else?
