Steam's monthly hardware and software survey, which tracks the specs of gamers' PCs and laptops, shows that 16GB VRAM GPUs and 8-core CPUs are now the most common options for systems.
I have no idea why your previous comment was downvoted? It’s absolutely valid IMO, sad to see you deleted it.
16 GB is still high end, but at the same time it has a big marketshare. Probably from RAM being way cheaper not that long ago, so it was also upper mid range. But now it is absolutely high end IMO.
People kept assuming I don’t know the difference between RAM and VRAM which got annoying. I probably could have worded my comment better but I don’t care enough to fix it.
OK I can see how that must have been extremely annoying, I noticed one myself, and wondered how one came to the conclusion that you weren’t thinking of VRAM when both VRAM and high end GPU is part of the headline, and is the entire topic?

Yes it is, although it is the most common at 25,9% only 10% have more, and more than 60% have less.
Ah thanks. I’d expect most people to be at 8-12 range. Laptops even lower.

GPU
this is VRAM not RAM. 16gb is a lot.
Indeed, it being most common was unexpected for me.
But also the most common, which was the point/question of the comment.
