Ive got 16gb of vram 2k monitor and this tracks pretty accurately. I almost never use over 8gb. The only games that I can break 10gb are games where I can enable a setting (designed for old PCs) where I can load all the textures into vram.

I would agree because 8gb is entry for desktop gaming and most people start at entry level

If he'd chosen his words more carefully and said "many" rather than "most" nobody would have a reason to disagree.

I personally think anything over 1080p is a waste of resolution, and I still use a card with 8GB of VRAM.

That being said, lots of other people want a 16GB card, so let them give you money AMD!
