Summary of How much GPU Memory do you REALLY need?

00:00:00 - 00:15:00

GPU memory is not as important as some people think, as long as the game running is not too demanding. A 12GB card is enough for most games, and even a 10GB card is enough for some older titles. In this video, the presenter explains how much GPU memory is needed for different resolutions and games, and how much is actually used. It also covers how system RAM affects a graphics card, and how to test if a graphics card is fast enough for a particular resolution or game.

• 00:00:00 This video explains that the amount of GPU memory a graphics card has (16, 12, 6, or 3 GB) is not as important as the bus width of the card, which is measured in bit width. Cards with a wider bus can hold more memory, which is good for future-proofing.

• 00:10:00 In this video, the presenter explains that when a game requires a lot of GPU memory, it can cause major stutters and pauses. They go on to say that, while the game may not use all of the available memory, it is still important to have enough to avoid any slowdown. They then play Borderlands 3, which uses around 4,600 megabytes of memory, and show that the game still runs smoothly despite the high memory usage. They conclude by saying that, even if a game does not use all of its available memory, it is still important to have enough to avoid any slowdown.
