8GB VRAM vs. 16GB VRAM: RTX 3070 vs. Radeon 6800
PC gamers have been hearing a lot about VRAM as of late, a topic that has stirred up a ton of controversy. Here's a new GPU shootout for testing VRAM usage in recently released games.
AMD takes aim at Nvidia, highlights the importance of VRAM in modern games
Ahead of the RTX 4070's arrival
In brief: As Nvidia's RTX 4070 is expected to launch tomorrow with 12GB of GDDR6X, AMD has decided now's a good time to take a shot at its rival by pointing out how much memory new games require when played at higher resolutions. Team Red notes that its mid- to high-end cards have more VRAM than Nvidia's equivalents, though some of its benchmark results don't exactly line up with our own.

Many Years Later: 3GB vs 6GB GTX 1060 in Today's Games
Recently we've been checking out previous-gen GPUs you can buy at decent prices used without paying inflated prices. The 3GB GeForce GTX 1060 is among the cheapest, but how does 3GB of VRAM is getting on in 2021?
Radeon RX 5500 XT 4GB vs. 8GB VRAM Test
As promised in our day-one Radeon RX 5500 XT review, today we're taking a look at the 4GB version to see how it performs and more importantly how it compares to not only 8GB models, but also other graphics cards that compete in the same price range like the RX 580.
Is 6GB VRAM Enough for 1440p Gaming? Testing with Nvidia's RTX 2060
Today we're investigating claims that the new GeForce RTX 2060 is not a good buy because it only features 6GB VRAM capacity. The RTX 2060 offers performance similar to the GTX 1070 Ti, but that card packs an 8GB memory buffer, as did its non-Ti counterpart. In other words, the RTX 2060 is the fastest graphics card to ever to come with a 6GB memory buffer.

VRAM to the Test: How Much Memory Is Enough?
Since publishing our annual graphics card roundup we've received several reader inquiries regarding the performance difference between GPUs sporting 2GB and 4GB. Therefore we've put together a clock-for-clock comparison of the GeForce GTX 960 and Radeon R9 380 using 2GB and 4GB cards. Also along for the ride is the previous-gen Radeon R9 290 4GB and the rebadged R9 390 8GB. So here's debunking the myth of VRAM once again.
