Me I do need 16gb+ because I want 4k and max settings. I'll actually skip games if I don't have the hardware to push it at the settings I want until I do. All because its not enough for you doesn't mean its not for little Timmy down the road.
The B580 is slightly better performance per MSRP, but it's rare to actually find it at that.
For the 580, the problem will always be drivers. It is a good card, but Intel has a lot of work to do to make the cards perform like they should.

It's your money so you do you. Most people buy for self use and want it to last as long as possible.

It would be silly to buy the 8GB version when the much better 16GB version is just $50 more.

I say that as someone who has used xx60/ti cards the entirety of my PC gaming history, starting with a GTX 660.
Yea, thats a massive over statement. I play all the modern games at 1440 on a 3070 ti with everything on high with 0 issues. Infact, a vast majority of the time I cant really tell the difference between my rig with an I7-8700k and 3070ti and the one with an I7-1400k and 7900xtx. I think people get way too caught up in how many frames the machine is pushing, not caring if they can even tell the difference. If a game is running at 60fps for me, I cant really tell the difference between that 200 fps. The major difference is your not going to get any stuttering if your at 200fps, which you will get occastionally at 60fps. Thats just my experience though.
I wish if $200-250 past-past gen RX 6800 XT on eBay but it's starts exactly the same $350 because people are crazy shopaholics and manufacturers/chipmakers are greedy bastards.
One thing I have noticed is that OCuLink is essentially PCIe X.0 x4. Meaning it can be PCIe 3.0, 4.0, or 5.0 speeds depending on all of the components. Higher PCIe speeds cost more, as is expected. However, what isn't normally variable is the 4 lanes (x4) part. So a 16 lane (x16) card will only have 1/4 of the potential bandwidth when using OCuLink.
Since each PCIe revision doubles the max throughput, PCIe 4.0 x16 has about the same capabilities as PCIe 5.0 x8. Support for PCIe 5.0 is more expensive. However, for an eGPU using OCuLink, I think you are better off with a PCIe 5.0 x8 card over a similar PCIe 4.0 x16 card. Both will get restricted to 4 lanes (x4). This would end up with the PCIe 5.0 card having twice the bandwidth as a PCIe 4.0 card when docked as an eGPU.
The Radeon RX 9060 XT is a PCIe 5.0 x8 card. So I think that makes is a better dGPU long term than similar PCIe 4.0 x16 alternatives.
(If anyone smarter than me contradicts me, go with what they said. I'm just trying to help.)
