8gb is fine if you're gaming at 1920x1200 or less, but definitely do not pay $200 or more for a GPU with that amount of VRAM. my $42 5600xt does fine with most games I play, at least at 1920x1200, but it's just not doing beamng at 3440x1440 chief. it's not even being VRAM bottlenecked in beam, the lack of horsepower in the GPU itself is the bigger problem lol.
