Yeah please don't mistake me as arguing against having more VRAM. Given the option I'd definitely like more. I'm on a 4GB card right now, till the new rig gets built. I had reservations about an 8GB card but figured if I didn't upgrade from 1440p to 4k, it would be ok for a while and maybe I don't go so long between upgrades again (8 years now). But I definitely agree that Nvidia blew it with how they did the 30-series in that regard.
Honestly, the last time I had any actual VRAM issue was with a 2GB GTX 670 with a texture modded Skyrim and that looked like everything slowing down to a literal slideshow. Unless running out of VRAM looks different these days, call me somewhat skeptical to a lot of the claims going around like everyone's running out of VRAM all the time. Granted I am talking about new cards within the last couple generations. I highly doubt an 8 year old card's reason for sucking at ultra settings at new 2022 games is limited to VRAM. Same goes for mid-range cards from 5 years ago. They have other issues besides VRAM.
