Frequently Asked Questions

Is 6GB VRAM enough for modern games?

For 1080p at medium-to-high settings, generally yes. Some of the newest AAA titles with high-resolution texture packs may require dialling settings back.

How does 6GB compare to 8GB in real-world gaming?

8GB gives more headroom for texture-heavy titles and light 1440p, but 6GB cards are usually meaningfully cheaper at Australian retailers — check the Value Score, which is computed from AUD listing prices, to see which is the better deal right now.

Should I buy a used 6GB card instead of new?

A used card can be a good deal if it's a step above in raw performance for a similar price — compare the Value Score, not just the sticker price, and weigh local warranty support from a retailer against the risk of buying second-hand without return coverage.
