Looks like 8GB of HBM is enough for VR...

Not REALLY 8GB though, It's 4GB per GPU.

Depends on the API. In DX12 they have the ability to combine it
But yeah mostly just 4GB...

True but I can't see DX12 being properly used for quite some time.

I hope you're wrong, because by then I might be using just one GPU...
Then again, releasing a poor coded game for DX12 that would not take full advantage of dual GPU set-up, would be silly...

I reckon it will be another 12 or so months before DX12 properly takes off in games, It took developers around a year or so to get into the Swing of things with Windows 7's DX11 and a full 2 years for DX11 to become the mainstream.

Also because many big games can't be made in a single year. Usually takes longer

While new API's i.e DX12, Mantle ect ect ect have the ability to memory stack making 2x 4GB cards essentially 8GB it is up to the games or software developers to implement it which is not going to be an easy task or something we are going to see anytime soon... *Cough* Consoles! lets not forget consoles are holding PC games back which has a knock on effect when it comes to us sitting on uber hardware that could be being used to its fullest..

I predict a very dull angry crowd complaining over the next few years about even more p~£$ poor ports.
