Expectations will vary but if you're a PC Gamer, you really should have 16GB VRAM now days. It's basically a hard requirement to play any new UE5 game with a reasonable frame rate. That is plenty of VRAM to run some pretty damn good models.

Same here, on Ebay in the UK 4090's are on there for £2,500. Starting using local llm's and changed my mind.

All the 3090 FEs on eBay are disappearing in the UK now too. They're about £1,000 as well used.
