TechDweeb | It's not about the VRAM! @TechDweeb | Uploaded June 2023 | Updated October 2024, 26 minutes ago.
You might have noticed that there’s a new angry mob out there. They’ve gathered up all their best pitchforks and torches gone to war against GPUs without, in their opinion, enough VRAM. It feels like just yesterday we were all totally happy with 4gb GPUs. And then for like 2 days 8gb was the minimum, and now the mob is DEMANDING that GPUs with 8 or less GBs are WORTHLESS GARBAGE. Does the mob have a point? Or are they worried about nothing like usual? Well let’s find out today, shall we?
