If you have an 8GB GPU that's a few years old, it's probably doing okay-ish. It probably doesn't have the performance to really suffer from VRAM limits and you don't game with things like raytracing or ultra detail settings turned on because the GPU isn't fast enough for those things anyway.

My Vega 64 had 8GB VRAM and that was fine.

If you buy one of the new GPUs with 8GB though, the VRAM is a huge problem. You have the GPU power to have all the features turned on, but you're going to see real performance crippled because it overflows VRAM.

Longevity is the other issue - when games released in 2025 run like ass on your 8GB GPU from 2017, you won't be surprised. Bad performance from an 8GB GPU that released in 2025 for $500, that's a problem.

I'm seeing games today regularly hitting 11 GB, and that's without raytracing or frame generation which require more VRAM.

The new 8GB GPU Nvidia just launched is a trap. It exists to trick people into buying a GPU that they'll need to upgrade next year.

Gotta hide that ass or conservatives might realise something about themselves.

chances are, it will have a table of context and generally low quality writing

Don't forget repeating the question over and over again. If my question gets rephrased four times in the first four sentences, it's a good sign that I'm reading AI slop and there's no actual answer in the pages and pages of text.

The general public can always use more reminders that billionaires are terrible people who stole their wealth from the people who produced it.

At least they aren't trying to get Steam to work on Kali.

I've seen someone try that.

Alcohol was involved.

Most of the EVs in the Australian market seem to be SUV-like

Eh, there's SUVs and there's SUVs. Manufacturers have taken to calling everything an SUV because people will pay more that way.

My EV gets called a "compact SUV" but really it's an oversized hatch.

It's only a safety feature if it stops someone from getting injured. If it just kills the device, that means they have to buy a replacement!
