Lots of games will request as much vram as is available but don't use anywhere near that much. Unless you're playing 4k ultra with ray tracing you're not running out of ram at 8gb anytime soon.

"Gibbo, wrote: Hi there We shall be launching cards around 2pm to browse, but we won't be taking any orders online or via the phones sorry. Reasoning is simply due to lack of stock and were unwilling to allow a crazy backorder situation to build up on a product that we see very little stock incoming on this year. Any stock that does come in, we shall give a heads up on the forum before making available to order, but that is very unlikely to happen this week, more like next week. So in short today all you can do is window shop. Sorry guys but we get so much flak when you guys are waiting on your orders and when I have gone and ordered 50,000 units and might struggle to see a few hundred cards this side of Christmas, it is ourselves who get the blame and the negative reviews, but as we do not manufacturer the product it is out of our control and considering that we can literally take 1000+ orders per minute on these new GPU launches which then causes havoc we have to take measures to stop this happening. As such the product won't be available to order from OcUK today, when we feel we have adequate stock to make product available to order we shall do so and announce that date/time only on our forum.
