In this case, at 1080p it’s barely more performance for a lot more money. And if we’re falling back on “good enough for most people” then an RX 5700 or 6600 is also “good enough for most people”.
It’s a free market, he can sell a low value product to suckers. That’s his right. You’re free to defend him and think it’s not scummy. But it’s scummy, and hopefully most people who know better are going to call it out.
What exactly do you expect him to say? Get the same GPU, but with more vram, at no extra cost?
If you want more performance, you pay more, that’s the way it’s always worked, and he’s correct in that 8gb is good enough for most people.
