4GB is not enough in the world of 2018 when you could buy a used card with 8GB for like $250. In the world of 2022 where you just need some fucking GPU any fucking GPU and maybe yeah you have to turn down texture quality but it's still better than an IGPU.

Hardware Unboxed did a test with a 5500XT with 4GB vs 8GB and various PCIe speeds. The result was 4GB instead of 8GB was not that big a deal for most games (1080p), but PCIe 3.0 4x was a huge limiter. So their original blog post was marketing bullshit.

That assumes you want to be able to run the games on high. Which is nice of course but when dealing with shortages, beggers can't be choosers. I only have a 4GB card myself (RX570) and it does what it needs to do

That video doesn't prove your point

How? 2-3 games show a significant difference out of 12.

He tested medium textures for most of the games, and at 1080p for most of them

The games he tested at medium quality were the highest playable settings for that card. No one is saying you don't need more than 4GB for 4K gaming.

It's not about screen framebuffer (4K vs 1080p), it's about textures. You didn't read his post.

Doom Eternal uses 8 GB of VRAM with hi-res textures.
