I'm not sure I understand why memory is important for gaming? For most games, with every settings maxed up, it'll be a stretch if it uses 6GB of VRAM.
For other applications than gaming, 100% agree, but for gaming I can't imagine it's important.

Depends on what kind of gaming you do, not all games consume the same type of resources from the GPU. Simulation games will usually be limited by RAM size/speed, VRAM size/speed and CPU, rather than actual clock speed of GPUs. Action games would require better latency and not so much about VRAM/RAM size and so on.
- mountainb 4y agoFor the majority of games, no it doesn't matter at all. For a small number of games, it's not hard to eat up all the VRAM with certain settings and especially with 4K gaming. I use a 1440p monitor so it doesn't really matter that much to me, but it does matter more to people who spend a lot on good 4K displays.
