How far does 4GB of VRAM get you nowadays? (lemmy.world)

Recently I've finally built something that I could consider 'decent', 10th gen i5 and 16GB of DDR4 but what aggravates me the most is that I could only attain an RX 570 4GB within my extremely tight budget, how much can I get out of said cards nowadays? Specially given how stupidly high PC game requirements are nowadays. I play at 1080p, not even 2K.

I have a dripfeed of an income so it can be very difficult for me to even upgrade a storage device.

As someone that just came from an R9 380 2GB, further than me for sure. It made it about as far as No Man's Sky before it started really working hard. I got lucky and ran across the money I needed to upgrade but I was miserable trying to play anything there for awhile.
