How we calculate

VRAM comes from the official requirements: an explicit “N GB VRAM”, otherwise the memory of the graphics card named in the requirements per the FPSHQ catalog (the smallest among the named models).

Verdict: below the minimum — “not enough”, between minimum and recommended — “borderline”, from recommended — “enough”. Real usage depends on resolution, textures and ray tracing.
