It depends on your definition of “usually”, high end GPUs for data centers, AI, workstations or “enthusiasts” yea. For these applications you’re starting at like 16
It’s also fairly cheap to buy 32+ GB of RAM, lots of choices for under $80. Meanwhile, I’m not even sure how you find a video card with 32GB of VRAM (not that you really need this much, 12GB and 16GB are pretty solid for a video card nowadays).
Creating your swap as 2x your RAM is outdated advice. Now it’s essentially changed to be 2x until 4GB of RAM, then 1x until 8GB, and anything over 8GB just use 4GB of swap because you probably have enough RAM. Or, even some modern systems like Fedora will swap to zRAM. Which is just a highly compressed portion of RAM.
Isn’t vram usually bigger than ram? Those pics should be switched.
EDIT: Oh, I took vram to be virtual ram, not video ram. It makes sense for video ram.
Mine certainly isn’t. 6GB vram, 16gb ram.
