8GB cards should be $200. $250 at most.

This was a year ago I'm thinking. Either he was VERY wrong or things have changed quickly in terms of VRAM usage.
Don't remember the name, but just remember him being very opinionated, and very sure.
Developers are not optimizing their ports while trying to hit multiple target systems, including the occasional last gen releases.
There's also a lot of recent Unreal 5 tech that they haven't had a chance to utilize yet, but should result in better out of the box performance. I imagine once they do so, you might see some titles that actually have lax requirements on VRAM when running on lower settings.
With that said, the practice of release first and optimize later is not going away anytime soon, so it's almost becoming a situation where it's no longer sustainable to buy a mid range card to play the latest games anymore.

edit: original comment meant to say 6700xt/6750xt. but the 6700 at $280 is an ok value with 10GB.

I was looking at some laptops with 4xxx but was told to not buy them due to 8GB and that it was over priced as you're getting a way more solid performance from the 3xxx
