DOA on arrival. 8GB is not sufficient for AAA moving forward.

12GB is minimum to go for, and 16GB preferably if any longevity is expected.

Competing products are likely better options.

for real? i mean games are getting weird instead. just set a lower in game settings or if you feel a bit adventurous, upgrade the soldered ram chips.

8gb as a minimum/mid-end segment is totally reasonable for me. it's just like 2gb vram on 1030/1050 cards like almost a decade ago.

8gb is reasonable for today, but it won't be reasonable in 3-5 years. I wouldn't build a PC for today, I want it to last at least 5 years. I want to run on high now, so that in 5+ years I can run anything on at least low.
