I'm trying hard not to insult here, so I'll attempt to stay positive and on the point...
Higher resolution assets require higher memory bandwidth.
GDDR6 and HBM2 provide much higher bandwidth for the same amounts of RAM when compared to GDDR5. Also, the die sizes are smaller, meaning lower costs and lower TDP (more efficiency) for higher performance.
At the same rate, whenever 4K+ resolutions will be used, an even higher memory bandwidth will be necessary, thus requiring yet another jump in RAM efficiency.
