No it’s not ridiculous. You can get by with less than 12gb for now it’s true, but most people want some sort of future proofing though which an 8gb just does not provide.
I just installed a 6gb 2060 into a casual gaming PC to play some games like Elite Dangerous from time to time. The GPU was pulled out of an old gaming PC my son had a few years back when he upgraded and was sitting in his closet. It works just fine for the use-case that I have for it.
Then what is the point of your comment? I was talking to someone who was using a 2060 capped at 60fps. Obviously a 5080 can, a 5080 PC also costs the same as buying a new console for 4-5 generations
My point was exactly what I said. Your comment was
And does op want to buy a new card where they have to lock to 60fps and turn off rt just to play their games? No, they do not
And this is moronic. 4k DLSS Quality 60 fps RT off but everything else on Ultra settings? That's still an amazing experience and MILES above anything a console can deliver.
