OP is stupid. VRAM is becoming increasingly important. I ran out of vram at 1080p with 3060 ti occasionally when playing with RT on
gpt
Op isn't stupid, both are important, but if you find a gtx770 with 32gb of VRAM, it doesn't make the card better that a modern card, that's the point of the OP ... 

For sure, you don't want be out of VRAM, but you can't only mesure your card and his "power" by VRAM, its like saying more gHz for a cpu is the only good thing to look regardless 
the number of core ...
