Yep! After all, those extra 8GB did wonders for the 4060Ti and the 7600XT.

While they struggle to effectively use that extra VRAM... There were instances where they didn't suffer texture degradation in games that stream textures to the GPU. I.E. Halo: Infinite.

The 4060/7600 should have been 12GB parts on a 192bit or 160bit bus.

Yes, there are edge cases where the extra capacity comes in handy, but in most situations that's not the case, with a difference between the 8 and 16Gb that barely goes beyond test run variance.

It's like the Intel's 285K, that actually does quite well in some very specific games, yet no one would recomend it for a gaming PC as the 7800X3D and the 9800X3D destroy in in all the other games.

And I agree, the bare minimum capacity for the xx60 and x600 part should have been 12GB. Let's hope this gen at least one of them makes the right call.
