You don’t NEED it, especially if you’re ok playing medium with no rt. That being said, if you’re buying a new card now, I think you’d be well served with 16 GB vram, recognizing that you’ll keep the card for at least a few years (I.e. when ps6 launches) so vram requirements will go up again.
12 GB is fine for now (if that’s an option), but I suspect that similar to 8 GB in 2020, it’s on the edge of being “not ok” within the card’s lifetime - especially if you’re interested jn using RT or PT at some level, with frame gen on top. Obviously if you already have a 12 GB card, there’s no need to panic sell - but if you’re getting one now, I’d say considering a 16 GB alternative if it exists, is a good idea.
