AMD Declares That The Era of 4GB Graphics Cards is Over
AMD has declared that the era of 4 GB graphics cards is over and that users should "Game Beyond 4 GB". AMD has conducted testing of its 4 GB RX 5500XT & 8 GB RX 5500XT to see how much of a difference VRAM can make on gaming performance. AMD tested the cards on a variety of games at 1080p high/ultra settings with a 3600X & 16 GB 3200 MHz ram, on average the 8 GB model performed ~19% better than its 4 GB counterpart. With next-gen consoles featuring 16 GB of combined memory and developers showing no sign of slowing down, it will be interesting to see what happens.

Not too bad. It also shows the 680 is still quite capable of running games, so the higher VRAM would bring a benefit.
I mean Ultra HD maxed out will be possible on many older games.
you not sure need FHD games more than 4gb.
if you play more than QHD monitor or 4K monitor games run,sure but some details not might shows, but you have not time seek thouse.
amd looks try something dunno what,welling something what we really not NEED, so using too much mems, and sure its ok, but that mem pay,you.
example 16gb mem for gpu is alot alot too much.
4-8gb is fine.
try playing games 4,6 and 8gb mems, you cant seek different and i mean 24-27 monitor.
tooking mem,i choose 32gb main mem.
80% players still using FHD monitor or even smaller.
come on amd,what you try?.. is it rdna 2 24gb mem card?!?
what a waiste and buyers pay it, meaning amd pay it that mem 150$ and gpu gpu buyers 350$.... calling business.. i call cheat. after that commercial.
lol
