if I play at lowest settings possible and maybe even a config file for highest fps in 10 years time will 6gb of vram still be enough?
will only be playing at 720p btw but difference in res doesn't effect Vram that much difference from 720p to 4k is only about 500mb.
I could upgrade to 12gb of vram with same gpu performance but would cost 70% more.
i think ill still have driver support for OS thats supported to run games until like 2040. how long could 6gb last vs 12gb. or would they last the same as you would hit processing limits before vram ones?
reason I ask is in 2012 people where asking how long 6gb would last and now in 2018 the max any game uses is 4gb... yet we will have 8/16gb cards soon.

Depends entirely on the game Most games in existence run just fine even with onboard graphics. You have to be more specific.

reason I still think ill have driver support for relevant OS that long is 8800gtx from nvidia a 2007 card is oldest card to have win10 drivers and windows10 will prob run games until 2027 but then mainstream game like wow droped dx9 support in 2017 so that is only 10 years but a 2009 card GeForce 400 from 2010 has dx12 support and also has win10 drivers and wow might have a dx12 mode till 2030 or even later so lifespan might even be longer.
asking how long 6gb will last on a 10+ year old card might be retarded question but id like ot know if i should spend 70% more for 12gb. thanks.

I mean any game im asking if 6gb of vram will be enough to run the hardest to run games in 2028 on lowest settings and config edits to make it run on weak decade old gpus.
David Parker
also if you wondering about level of performance of card its like Titan V sure 6gb titan V don't exist but imagine if they did.

I used a 1gb vram card until 2016 at 1440p and it was barely an issue
