The survey data also suggests plenty of people are holding out for more budget GPUs: One of the top five GPUs among Steam users in 2025 is still somehow the GTX 1650, which only has 4GB of VRAM. The number one GPU as of April is the RTX 4060 laptop version with 8GB of VRAM.<\/p>\n<p>Limited VRAM has <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=y0Acn0pbbCA&#038;ab_channel=DigitalFoundry\" target=\"_blank\">become a bit of a sore spot <\/a>during the current, Nvidia-led GPU doldrums, with 8GB already proving an issue in the biggest, most graphically advanced games.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s even an open question whether the <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=EyC2o320L3Y&#038;t=60s&#038;ab_channel=DFClips\" target=\"_blank\">5070&#8217;s 12GB of VRAM is sufficiently &#8220;future proof,&#8221;<\/a> and the $379 MSRP of the 8GB 5060 Ti is a hard sell before you even get to the endemic price bloat from AIB partners.<\/p>\n<p>But with a <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/hardware\/graphics-cards\/amd-announces-the-long-awaited-rx-9060-xt-in-8-gb-and-16-gb-flavors-but-pricing-and-some-of-the-key-specs-remain-a-mystery\/\" target=\"_blank\">$299 MSRP<\/a>, the 8GB RX 9060 XT is a different beast\u2060\u2014that is approaching a truly budget price. With so many gamers sticking to 1080p, and some of the biggest games in the world being less demanding &#8220;esports&#8221; picks like Marvel Rivals, or otherwise dark horse indie phenoms like Schedule One, REPO, and Palworld, the 9060 XT is shaping up to be an 8GB card that makes a good deal of sense, one on the more expensive side of &#8220;budget.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Azor&#8217;s stance is in line with my personal gaming experience, too. I&#8217;ve been gaming on an 8GB Radeon RX 6600 for a couple of years now and have yet to run into performance issues, even running most of my games through a compatibility layer on Fedora Linux.<\/p>\n<p>Most gamers don&#8217;t need a top-of-the-line GPU, and for some time now, it&#8217;s felt like all the buzz has been around Nvidia&#8217;s prohibitively expensive 30, 40, and 5090 cards, while the sub-$350, 1080p set has had to settle for hand-me-downs and mediocrities.<\/p>\n<p>Those budget cards are not meant to be hooked up to high-end monitors, and the people who can afford a 1440p or 4K gaming monitor need to be realistic about the GPU they&#8217;ll need to power it.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fancy-box\">\n<div class=\"fancy_box-title\">Best of the best<\/div>\n<div class=\"fancy_box_body\">\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure \" >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' >\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"QJ7JHgYv6WEL9dHitak4vS\" name=\"BG3 Dark Urge.png\" caption=\"\" alt=\"The Dark Urge, from Baldur's Gate 3, looks towards his accursed claws with self-disdain.\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/majority-of-gamers-are-still-playing-at-1080p-amd-chief-claims-theres-still-a-place-for-8gb-gpus-and-hes-got-a-point.png\" mos=\"\" link=\"\" align=\"\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"\" height=\"\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"pinterest-pin-exclude\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\"\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Larian Studios)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"fancy-box__body-text\"><a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/new-games-2025-upcoming-pc-release-schedule\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>2025 games<\/strong><\/a>: Upcoming releases<strong><br \/><\/strong><a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-best-pc-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best PC games<\/strong><\/a>: All-time favorites<br \/><a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-50-best-free-pc-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Free PC games<\/strong><\/a>: Freebie fest<br \/><a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-fps-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best FPS games<\/strong><\/a>: Finest gunplay<br \/><a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-rpgs-of-all-time\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best RPGs<\/strong><\/a>: Grand adventures<br \/><a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-best-co-op-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best co-op games<\/strong><\/a>: Better together<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>There&#8217;s no harm in offering budget-oriented GPUs for those who need that option.
