Do you know what resolution that is? I can see that for 4k, maybe 1440p, but if that's happening for 1080p games have gotten a lot worse than I realized.

I ran a 1070ti for quite a while (8GB), and recently upgraded to a 6700xt (12GB?). Running 1080p 144hz, I pretty much only use that extra vram when I run local LLMs or Stable Diffusion.

More is better, but having 8GB for the "entry level" cards is fine IMO. Better than the 3/4 of the entry in the 1000 series nvidia cards.
