Hello everyone, long time no see.
Back with a quick post.
We are seeing alot of games utilising alot of VRAM sometimes more than 12. Is this poor optimisation or are we just heading towards new standards when it comes to pc gaming? What do you think?

It's a conspiracy! GPU manufacturers paying game devs/producers to gate the only settings that look good behind a high VRAM requirement so that you will feel the need to upgrade your GPU!

People don't get that we had 8GB VRAM since 2015. And that the devs had to optimize for older consoles. No longer.

Given the size of games I'd say it could also be a side effect of compartmentalisation within modern developers. If you have to have different teams doing various parts of a game, it must be incredibly difficult to sew it all together and get it to run properly.

I think optimizations play a big role in VRAM usage. Buut... let's be honest, 8GB is kind of the minimum that you need nowadays.
