8gb is spot on for these cards.

it all comes down to availability both amd and nvidia do not have the stock to supply demand.

Kosmoz:

It's the minimum for 2020+ in this class, but AMD comes with 12GB Vram in this class (6700/XT), that will be even better.

based on... nothing. I don't like it when people just start moaning about VRAM not being enough, with no tests, with nothing. Same goes with 3080 vs 6800 XT, and 3080 always beats 6800 XT, especially at high resolutions (4k, VR). But yeah, people with 2x8 GB system ram really want 32 GB vram I guess.

Based on nothing as you say, but when gamers are saying this it is nothing. You really think we care what you moan about because you do not like it. DEAL WITH IT. As someone who has 4GB cards laying around like GTX 970, GTX 970, RX 480, R9 Fury X, 8 should be the min standard for any new card from here out not in the budget bin. There are games that I push the 8GB Vram on my RX 5700XT on @3440x1440. I would far rather run out of gpu horsepower far beyond Vram like what happened with my Fury X. That is the biggest reason I even bought a Vega 56 8GB. Most people do not buy a pricey gpu to swap it out in 6 months. Even some of the enthusiast on here do not do that. Im not even gonna bite on your illogical and stupid ram comparison.

The amount of VRAM doesn't really matter if the GPU can't be fed data fast enough.... RX6700 is rumored to only have a 192bit memory bus.

Best way to make fan quiet is to put some weird obstruction in front of it. /s off

I was just sticking toothpicks between the fan blades and the cooling fins thank you for opening my eyes ! 😀
