It's useful for working with high resolution footage. Uncompressed 4K is like, big.

i know but damn would that much gpu ram really be all that is need to make 8k work right at 60fps? cause I cant believe that

It's 8K of video footage. Playing back a video is not the same as rendering a scene at 8K. Once the footage is edited/mastered and compressed then you don't need 1TB of RAM to play it anymore.

that is supposed to be for VR and last i check VR to work need 60fps in both eyes? or does that 60 only apply to Games and not video footage?

Uh, that's a good question. I imagine it applies to both but a little less useful in video footage. I guess it would depend on what type of scene it is and how much looking around you're doing, although that probably applies to both cases. I just feel like I'd expect video experience to have less head movement - and it's generally the head movement where the sub VR framerates become a problem. FYI uncompressed 4K at 60fps is about 5TB per hour of footage. So on a 1TB video card you're going to probably keep your working clip at less then 12 minutes.

hahah storage mediums just are up to that task, at lest not optical ones
