Tbf, we should be starting with 16GB for gaming GPUs too, especially for those prices. But … NVidia.
But yeah, modern HPC Processors have at least 48GB or so. And max. is the AMD Mi355X with 288GB VRAM afaik. Which is actually less than my servers RAM, ha! But also probably like a thousand times fasted, considering my RAM runs at 1600 MT/s.

I’m seeing games today regularly hitting 11 GB, and that’s without raytracing or frame generation which require more VRAM.
The new 8GB GPU Nvidia just launched is a trap. It exists to trick people into buying a GPU that they’ll need to upgrade next year.
