I do think there's a certain level of nonsense when Nvidias new "Flagship" has less Vram capacity than the 2 generation old 1080 Ti. It really was a card for the ages.
As for the 12GB of Vram requirement, I still doubt it's gonna be much of an issue. When Nvidia had that whole 970 3.5GB of Vram nonsense, unless you went SLI, Nvidia optimized the drivers well enough that the Vram never became the problem even against it's RX 390 competitor with 8GB of Vram. Of course, it remains to be seen whether or not that will be the case this time as well. The rumoured 3080 Ti and 3070 Ti should be the cards to fix any Vram concerns so it might be better to wait for those if you are going to keep the card for a long time or go AMD.
