Various sources seems to claim that the minimum VRAM requirement for Hogwarts Legacy is 4GB and recommended being 8GB. Seems to still be far away from 24GB.

  I could totally imagine a big map game having 50gb+ of textures, and demand loading them. If you have more VRAM, there will be less SSD reading/writing as textures are loaded and unloaded when you move about the map.

    UE4 onwards has this interesting mechanism where it slows movement as you move through a zone that triggers asset loading. It removes loading screens by imposing a movement speed penalty to give it time to pre-load assets. The pitfall is that if you're short on VRAM you can feel like you're moving through treacle near doors you don't even intend to open! All at 60fps...

      That seems so much worse than the oft memed about "glacially slow elevators" or, more recently, "tiny gaps your character crawls through"

    GPUs are going to have SSDs or NAND soon, aren't they? "Non-volatile persistent texture storage" branded as "TextureFlash" or "GameNOW!!" or something like that.

      I for one absolutely love this idea.
