6600xt Vram question

[Seeks-Nom]

I was checking tomshardware's review on 6600xt and they seem to think 8 gb vram is on the low side. Now i dont think that is the case for gaming currently but when 1060 3gb came out it was enough yet years later now 3gb vram causes the card to not get full potential on most games. 

What do you guys think? Will games use more than 8gb of ram in the 5-7 year future?

yes.

If you crank the settings enough now, you can pass 8GB now depending on the game. Will the card be eWaste in like 5-7 years? Probably not, as you can always just turn down the settings.
