Don’t throw away your 8GB VRAM GPU yet — 3 ways to reduce your VRAM dependency
If you're stuck with an 8GB VRAM GPU, for whatever reason, you have my sympathies. The GPU market hasn't exactly been stable in the last six years. Many gamers bought what they could, not what they wanted to. And thanks to companies like Nvidia and AMD essentially locking sufficient VRAM behind a paywall, most of those gamers are struggling with the latest games today. While 8GB of VRAM is still enough for most games at 1080p and even 1440p (to an extent), you can definitely find it lacking in several scenarios. Demanding AAA games with large textures and cutting-edge ray tracing aren't easy on 8GB VRAM cards, even at 1080p.
