I'm sure a lot of people agree that the RTX 3070's 8GB will fall short as time goes on, though I actually wonder what nVidia were thinking when they were making the RTX 30 series GPUs. The 3060 has a rather generous 12GB though the amount of actual juice in the card comes off to me as the hardware not being able to utilize it in an adequate manner, while the 3070 itself is a powerful card but it having less VRAM means you won't be targeting higher resolutions as time goes on.
As someone who has an RTX 3070 myself, i can say the following:
Cyberpunk 2077 is a 1080p game to that card even after tweaking the game's settings to account for okay performance and real-time raytracing, though the player might encounter temperature throttling after extended play
You can forget about 4K with Kingdom Hearts III -- 1620p is the highest resolution you can go at max settings before your framerates really take a hit
Killing Floor 2, i'm already using a custom low config in order to minimize performance hiccups because >ue3 in 2021
Necromunda: Hired Gun on the RTX 3070 can really only match the PS5 and Xbox Series X's 1800p ultra
Iunno, i just thought I'd make this thread to voice my confusion about nVidia's decisions regarding the amount of VRAM that they put in their cards.
