Modern-day games are very demanding and they require a huge amount of System RAM and Video RAM along with powerful GPU and CPU if you want to play them on the highest graphics settings and resolution. Well 4GB or 6GB of VRAM is sufficient for any latest game but if the game is not optimized then you may require in excess of 4GB video memory.

A powerful graphics card with 8GB VRAM is a perfect choice for gaming on higher resolutions which are 1440p and 4K. These 8GB graphics cards are good for VR Gaming too as Virtual Reality Games and Applications require a huge amount of memory. Also, you will be future proof for upcoming games requiring 4GB or more than 4GB of video memory.
