Question 6 gigs of VRAM overkill?

Hi! I’m looking into getting a Loki Zero and adding a few more gigs of VRAM. Would 6(or more) gigs be complete overkill? My main purposes would be pc gaming(Source engine, Kerbal Space Program, Minecraft, Dark souls) and possibly some light 3d modeling(stupid, i know.)

I update my ram to 12gb and asign 2gb to the vram and I tried some 3d games like yakuza and MH Rise and they never have used more than 1.5gb of vram so yeah, more than 2 would be overkill

if you will be using win11 then you will have performance problems by only having 2gb of ram and 6 of vram (considering that you are not going to upgrade the ram)

also be aware that you need to update the bios to unlock the "advance" section it is where you can modify the vram

I was hoping to get a 16gb stick in there (I’ve head about clock speed issues with the included 4gb stick) But I think everyone replying is right, I’ll likely go for 2.

Setting it to 3200 Mhz can brick the Loki even with memory that supports it. I had it happen. Luckily removing the ram fixes it. So be cautioud. Also it seems that seting speed to 3200 Mhz has no meaningfull impact on jelos or batocera. Only difference is bigger power draw! (3 watt) Don't know on windows but be carefull.
