Why is choosing a gfx card such a minefield :)

7600XT is never the answer, regardless of the question
It's £60 more than the 8GB 7600, and hasn't got any additional horsepower, so the extra VRAM will be of no use for games/resolutions that actually need more than 8GB.

The 8 GB will see you have to resort to low/med textures on occasion which look horrid, as well as having to lower other settings even though you'd have the processing power for them. That's on top of AMD cards needing even more vram than Nvidia. If you don't think the 8GB of vram is a problem then might as well get a 4060 so you can enjoy DLSS. Can't imagine being stuck on low settings AND FSR @ 1080p - yuck!

VRAM
Our testing shows that Spider-Man 2 does need quite a lot of VRAM, especially when you dial up the settings an enable things like RT and frame generation. Also, especially on cards with 8 GB VRAM, you'll be maxing that out even at fairy low settings. Interestingly, and we've seen this in other games, AMD cards with 8 GB VRAM take a pretty big performance hit, while their NVIDIA counterparts are not affected as much. This is probably due to the GPU architectures managing their memory differently.
