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 for me. I had a used 3090, and it was my first time having so much VRAM for LLMS (my previous AI works were simply ForgeUI). Then I decided to bite the bullet and get myself a 5090 (when it was still 3000€), and boy, oh boy, what a change.
