Buying an 8 gig video card to play any recent games or to do photo or video editing is almost a guarantee you will be disappointed. Last one I got with 8gb was a long time ago, I don't remember what brand or chipset it was, but it was slow/choppy enough that I ended up moving it to my TV PC, it worked fine for playing BD and other media, and replaced the card in my main PC with the same basic card with 16GB on it. I have had a couple of 12gb ones along the way, and they were OK, only the last one has been expensive (not as bad as I expected), a 4080 16G card by ASUS that I got used about a week for "only" $599. Before that, I tried to order video cards over and over again without any luck, and bought a prebuilt PC just to get an ASUS 3080 16 to put into my new PC I was building. I couldn't get a card alone for what I paid for that PC. Only thing bad in it was it had one of the bad Gigabyte power supplies. They (ABS/New Egg) refused to replace it, so I bought a good 750W one online. The PC itself runs very well, and even the original SSD is pretty decent quality and has good speed.
