8GB VRAM GPUs are a trap, even if they’re cheaper than the alternative
Gamers never used to care about VRAM as much as they do today, and it's easy to see why. Before 2020, even high-end games didn't demand more VRAM than what most mainstream GPUs had to offer. Slowly but surely, the VRAM requirements kept going up, but GPU manufacturers didn't get the memo. Today, 8GB VRAM GPUs can affect performance even at 1080p, and in the worst cases, they can make games objectively unplayable. While you may not be able to upgrade your 8GB VRAM GPU right now, you can at least avoid buying a new one. The market doesn't exactly have too many affordable GPUs right now, but I'd recommend 16GB VRAM even if it costs you more at the outset. It won't take long for you to realize the importance of sufficient VRAM as games get more demanding, and you increase the resolution at which you play.
