You do not have to work hard to find scenarios where 8 GB suffers from poor performance at 1080p in newer games. Not just 4K or 1440p, but 1080p. Since we have multiple cards that are virtually identical except for the memory capacity, it's very easy to test and see huge drops in average framerates and 1% lows. This will certainly get worse in the coming years. The next generation could see Nvidia, AMD, and Intel all putting 12 GB GDDR7 on 128-bit cards, providing a cheaper alternative to 16 GB clamshell 128-bit cards, but enough VRAM for 1080p.
You are definitely getting hosed when a fundamentally powerful card like the 9060 XT, 5060 Ti, 3070, etc. gets 8 GB, since the additional VRAM can instantly make 1440p/4K viable in some games. Because to get to that "Ferrari" level, costs the manufacturer maybe an additional $20-30. Certainly a lot less than the crazy gap seen here ($224 8 GB vs. ~$370 16 GB). So the guy praying for a $275 9060 XT 16GB is onto something, although that isn't happening anytime soon.
Obviously, 8 GB can still be fine for many people, and that includes playing new games, not just old ones. You can tinker with settings, lower texture quality, and make it work better. This is a good price for a fast 8 GB card, and currently the cheapest way on the planet to get access to FSR4.

A YT reviewer gets paid to slow down a video and circle a part of the screen, then forward and reverse and then say.....did you notice that? Well unless you spend 40%-50% more on your graphics card to go from 8gb to 16gb or you will need to turn that setting off that you can't even notice during actual game play. If each individual leaf on that tree i ran by in 2 seconds does not cast its own shadow....i just dont see the point of playing the game...rotfl...Most of these posters are either folks who have never played this game....or dont live within a budget.
Review Sites make reviews interesting by pushing boundaries and showing benchmarks.
It would be boring if they showed folks playing a game with imperceptible differences.
Sure...The more you spend the better the card and there are some benefits....
But the concept that a 5060 8GB card cannot be an acceptable entry level gaming card is just absurd.

Wanting to upgrade CPU and GPU while staying on AM4 (I have a 2600x and 1060 6 gig currently). Current system does most of what I need, but getting long in tooth so figure a cheap upgrade could give me a few more years.
Looking at something like a Ryzen 5 3600 or 5500 for CPU, and this would have been a great match for it I think. Have been looking at the B580, but would rather an AMD or Nvidia card.
