8GB VRAM: Should You Worry?
Valve says 4K60. Independent testing says 1080p is where 8GB feels safe. At 4K with high textures, you'll hit the VRAM ceiling in demanding games. Read the full VRAM guide →
Bottom line: 8GB works at 1080p High for most games. Drop textures one notch for 1440p. Don't expect 4K in AAA titles — it's a compromise, not a disaster.
