On the flip-side, every game worth playing uses 2GB vram or less at 1080p.

Even 8GB is fine to be honest, even at high settings. People are a bit dramatic about it.

Video editing and AI require as much VRAM as you can get. Not everyone uses the cards just for gaming.

Then don't buy the current-gen low-end card for video editing, mate. Get previous-gen with more vRAM, or go AMD.
