I’m looking up mid range GPU options and boy did people get bitter or the market turned rotten. Everything is “How about the 5060ti?” “How about you kill yourself? You can’t even play Minecraft with 8gb vram.” “What about the 16gb variant?” “Are you retarded? Just buy the 5070 for another $200.” “Is the 5070 good then?” “No, it only has 12gb vram and is overpriced.” “Should I go AMD?” “Only if you’re a dirt poor who enjoys troubleshooting every game.” 

Then somebody else adds “5060ti is fine if you’re playing 1440p at 60hz to 144hz” and they get dog piled.

5060ti 16gb seems fine for me. Downside is the bundled game. Borderlands 4… when I bought my last GPU they gave out MGSV and Arkham Knight.

Was this on Reddit?  Reads like it! 

I stick with portable/laptop subs and it's the same dumb crap on those, too.  A few years back it was everyone freaking out over GPU wattage.  Then it changed to VRAM whining.  Never-ending "8GB IS NOT ENOUGH!!!!!!!!!" posts.  

Someone asked about potentially buying an Asus Z13 and wanted to know which model they should get.  It comes in 32, 64, and 128 GB RAM configurations and since it's integrated, you can split it and allocate VRAM.  Put my two cents in and responded that if you just want to play games, the 32 GB model is perfectly fine.  Do a 16/16 RAM/VRAM split and you're good.

Had someone reply that 16 GB of VRAM isn't enough.
