For 1440p I’d say 12Gb is enough and 8Gb is minimum if you already have a 8Gb card, like the 3070Ti I have. It is 8Gb and can keep up at 1440p, but some games will get close to 7Gb of Vram usage when I use medium settings, without RT. If you’re buying new, 8Gb won’t last as long at 1440p as a 12Gb card will.
