AMD Explains Why They Will Continue Releasing 2025GB Graphics Cards in 8
Journalist Michael Quesada approached AMD with a direct question about the fairness of releasing graphics cards with 8GB of video memory in 2025, promising to get a comment personally from a company representative. In response to this Frank Azor, AMD's director of gaming marketing, made a public statement on Twitter (X) explaining the company's position.
According to Azor, the vast majority of players still use resolution 1080p, where 8 GB of video memory is supposedly enough for popular games. He stressed that the most popular titles still belong to eSports segment, where the requirements for video memory are significantly lower compared to AAA games of recent years. "We wouldn't issue such cards if there was no demand.”, He noted.
Azor also reminded that many video cards are available in two configurations - 8 and 16 GB, with the same GPU. This supposedly gives players a choice: "If 8GB is not enough for you, there is 16GB. No compromises, just a different configuration."However, such a policy raises questions among enthusiasts, since some modern games already require more than 1080 GB of VRAM at 8p at high settings.
Michael Quesada promised to publish a video of a direct response from AMD in the next issue of PC Noticias. The video will be released on his YouTube channel this coming Saturday, and according to him, The question of 8 GB of VRAM will be the central topic of the interviewThe debate over memory capacity in budget graphics cards continues, especially as ray tracing and frame rate-based gaming demands grow.
