How far does 4GB of VRAM get you nowadays? (lemmy.world)

Recently I've finally built something that I could consider 'decent', 10th gen i5 and 16GB of DDR4 but what aggravates me the most is that I could only attain an RX 570 4GB within my extremely tight budget, how much can I get out of said cards nowadays? Specially given how stupidly high PC game requirements are nowadays. I play at 1080p, not even 2K.

I have a dripfeed of an income so it can be very difficult for me to even upgrade a storage device.

I had a 980 FE and it was begging for mercy, you can get good frames on 1080p, low settings, if your card has good cooler, so it won't turn into a grilling pan. But i would suggest upgrading even with a second hand part (i got myself a second hand palit 3070 jet stream, it is a trooper, but the cooler can't keep up with the heat at times.) so yeah, that's that.

I should add games like csgo, fortnite, rainbow, gta v, rdr2, skyrim runs fine on a 4gb but still...
