4gb

Good to go

[Xelance]

i bought 8GB gpu last year and its a life saver for me

[【LiLMonika】]

i got 6GB vram is it enough to play on high or med? xD

[Rhila]

with low settings and FSR ON, the VRAM will not be a problem.
just be sure to test the game performance in less than 2hrs so you can refund it if doesn't work.

RIP to 4GB VRAM users

Welcome to 2023?

Heck, most of the GPU reviews I see, are full of people complaining that all these new 8GB cards are automatically garbage, because modern games need more than that.

Sick of those reviews. It's not useful in the slightest.

And a new power supply because your using too much power now.... and more system RAM cause you only have 8GB.... and a new motherboard because you just realized its not compatible with the new stuff... you know what just buy a whole new rig at this point lmao

[CupCupBaconBox]

Yeah, why not

[HAOSov]

Yea, recently I play mo mans sky for ultra 1080 - saw almost 8Gb VRAM used. And used regular RAM only 3 Gb lol. And this game from 2016 xD

12GB here, nice buffer zone.

Well, not really from 2016. It had major graphics update not that long ago.

But back on topic, how old is a card with only 4gb? Has to be old.

All the low-end cards have 8GB now, so if you had a GPU already, you should still have enough power to run a new one.
(RX7600 is ~160W, RTX 4060 is only 115W; both say they're fine with a 550W PSU)

Absolute minimum nowadays is expected to be 8GB VRAM honestly. It's time for anyone under 8GB to make that upgrade. Not really something that should be surprising in 2023.

Explain how you calculate the VRAM requirement for a 1080p display. Take your time...

That depends on your resolution primarily. At 1080p that should be enough for high settings assuming 2k textures. How it will perform depends on other things, but as far as VRAM consumption it's the resolution and texture size.

If they want a high-end one the wattage is higher. Guess it all depends but fair enough.
