i've been watching some tech youtubers that claim that 8GB is more than enough to play vidya at 1440P and 4k but something tells me this is a lie, my friend who owns a 3060TI tells me that he has to do some workarounds with games like turning shit to medium or even lowering the resolution because he doesnt have enough Vram. are the youtubers lying when they say that the 5060 can handle 1440P and 4K?

not worth the risk
it's fine if you're buying a $25 rx 570 or $120 2060 super but not on a $300 card in my opinion

It'll get you by if you're willing to lower settings, which you should expect to have to do on an x60-class card anyway. Though if you're such a poorfag that you're shopping in that market and won't be able to upgrade again for another 5 years, you should consider that the situation will probably be a lot different by then.

I too have 6GB and I can even play modern slop at 1080p fine. So 8GB for 1440p might be okay.

I'm not sure about 1440p, I think things start to become a little trickier, but for those wondering if 8GB will be enough to the foreseeable future at 1080p, I absolutely believe it will because of one thing and one thing only: resolution scaling. I turned FSR4 on Cyberpunk simply to test it and was pleasantly surprised to see the game using a bit over 6GB of VRAM (scaling to 1080p, so probably something like 720p as the real solution).

Of course, since we living on this cunt Earth, I'm sure this will be used to fuck us over because c-suits will definitely be relying on this to make the games meet their deadlines, so on the long run we all fucking lose.

>>107841137
I get well over 60fps at 1440p high settings in warthunder with 8GB of vram

If you don’t play neo-Marxist DEI games made in ue5 you will be fine

>>107841137
>i've been watching some tech youtubers that claim that 8GB is more than enough to play vidya at 1440P
That's because the companies want to sell lower tier GPUs now so they have directed them to shill 8GB GPUs again
Last year they wanted to sell 16GB GPUs for the higher margin but those have become too expensive for the companies to make now.
>>
>>107841137
I just upgraded from 8 to 16gb to play cyberpunk at 1440p, went from 48 to 70 fps.
>>
>>107841816
GPU? Let me guess, either a 5060 TI or a 9060 XT
>>
When they say 1440p they really mean DLSSlop/FSlopR
Never forget they make content for cash. Always do your own research
>>
>>107841137
I have a 3060TI but I play every game at the lowest res/settings it allows down to about 800x600. Many newer games and console ports won't go lower than 720p though.
>>
>>107841378
>>107841351
Even if you just took literal pixel amounts, 1440p is 1.78 times more pixels than 1080p so 6GB VRAM usage becomes 10.68GB, not to mention all the other factors affecting this.
real world scaling taking into consideration buffers, maps and screenspace effects in a properly optimized game will be more like 9-9.5GB
shut the fuck up, why the FUCK are you on a technology board if you know NOTHING

>>107841137
Depends 100% on what games you play, and what settings.
VRAM alone also does not tell the whole story; you could slap that on a GT-710, and it would not run any better.
Enabling Gay-Tracing also tanks your performance a shitton, often for no obvious visual gain.

Unreal 5 slop won't run well no matter what you do, unless you use AI upscalers and/or framegen, which is what Pajeets want you to do these days by default.

Anything a bit older, non-UE5, or "e-sports" oriented will run just fine with way less than 8GB.

t: I was on GTX 1060 6GB up until late-2024, and I've been playing at 1200p since 2009.

I could easily max out games like Yakuza 0 and up with 2x SSAA, making it essentially 4K+, and still have rock solid 60fps. Deep Rock Galactic, a custom UE4 game, same thing.
RE2 remake I played at 150% render scale at locked 80fps.
Sekiro and Elden Ring, High settings at locked 60fps.

Your friend is most likely a moron that only plays the latest AAA trash, that is notorious for running like ass AND looking WORSE than 10+ year old AAA games.

Reminder that we had people already gaming at 1440p and 144fps back in 2014, when 4GB was the luxurious enthusiast-tier amount of VRAM.

There is no pride in being poor and from the global south playing shitty old games.
enjoy your sub-30fps, shitter

>Image of game that ran horribly even at 1280x1024 that looks dated as fuck, didn’t have a real story and was a tech demo with a shitty plot bolted on, and took 10 years of IPC improvements to actually get it to run above 60fps average

Depends on what you play/do, a 3070ti cannot max out BF6 on 1440p due to 8GB, same goes for the 5060ti 8GB, and the 5070 mobile with 8GB.
The 5060ti and mobile 5070 with 8GB just straight up crash games like Indiana Jones as soon as you turn on Path Tracing even on lowest settings.

>>107841351
>>107841378
1440p won't be okay on anything released past ~2020-ish, but then again depends on what you play, Indie-slop still works fine I guess.
Also you said you play modern slop with 6GB VRAM, well, not everyone wants to play on low-med with DLSS Performance on.

This. My 3080 10GB is still highly capable. I will never use slop generation of any form. Raw dog only.

You literally can't play uncharted 4 without it
