the reason i asked was because amds 8gb cards are the ones on that border where there are realistic scenarios where you could run out of vram in some edge cases (obviously not to the same extent as yhe 6500xt). and the 6700/6700xt will rarely hit that problem with their 10/12 gb allotments. good to know now though as my laptop uses a 7700S so id get those fixes on the edge case.
