I bought one from canada computer the copy of MW2 and the 16gig vram was a no brainer I only play that one game, and the vram was more crucial since I do photo editing and my old GTX 1080 with 8 gigs just wasn’t cutting it. And I have had a fine experience with the arc cards.

I admit that Arc is the obvious choice in that price point if you need Vram or AV1. 16Gb for 450 is a no brainer 

As for me, I play a lot of DX11 games so it would have been a mixed bag. I also didn't really need it since I game at 4K
