That 16GB 580 sounds cool for memory-constrained scenarios, but it'd obviously make more sense to get a more powerful card entirely.

Yep, Dawid already made a video comparing an original RX580 8gb vs the circumcised RX580 with 16gb. Out of all the games he tested there's only 1 that utilizes that 16gb memory but it's below 10fps! lmao.

My previous GPU was a 4GB RX580 and it definitely was VRAM limited. 8GB is probably the sweet spot for that card (I might've kept mine longer if it had 8GB), but, at least for gaming, I don't really see a point in having 16GB on a card with that level of performance
