I know I'm not but that doesn't mean that gamers wouldn't benefit from more VRAM as well.
Just an example, Nvidia's implementation of MSAA is borked if you've only got 8gigs of VRAM, so all those new super pretty games need to have their gfx pipelines hijacked and the antialiasing replaced with older variants.
Like, I'm not gonna go around saying my use case is normal, but I also won't delude myself into thinking that the average gamer wouldn't benefit from more VRAM as well.
Sure, but if they want more VRAM they can just buy the 16gb version. It doesn’t hurt to have a cheaper option.
