Is it actually that little that gets used by the CPU? I assume there'd also be some overhead that gets claimed by the OS and not the game. Maybe 1-3gb?

Looking it up, the OS takes 3.5GB, leaving 12.5GB for the game.

But most games also run a little less than native 4K unless you like the 30fps mode.

The 8GB GPUs are looking increasingly stingy at this point.
