16GB VRAM now Steam's most common spec, as gamers snap up high-end Nvidia and AMD GPUs
Steam's July 2026 hardware survey reveals that 16GB of VRAM is now the most common GPU specification among surveyed users, surpassing 8GB configurations. This trend is driven by the increasing popularity of high-end Nvidia and AMD graphics cards, with specific models like the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 (12GB VRAM) remaining popular despite the rise in higher VRAM capacities. While no games currently list 16GB as a minimum requirement, titles like Cyberpunk 2077 and Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 can utilize this much VRAM at max settings.
