The card you have at work is a workstation card, mostly Nvidia Quadro. That doesn't count.

And to play games they are not a problem. 8GB are more than enough to play at 1080p or 1440p, and if you want to play at 4K... well, you'll probably run out of GPU power before those 8GB are the limiting factor.

We may get those kinds of VRAM amounts with HBM2.0 next year, tho.

The cards I use for work, as in, in my home system, are two Tesla K80s.

dang 10,000$+ for two of those badboys.

 

Im sure AMD can make some workstation type cards lateron... for people that need that sorta thing, but for gameing... yeah price points of 5000$ is too much, and a 24gb card would fine no use with any current gen game.

 

 

"Because that's one of the praised feature of DX12, to allow dual GPU cards or SLI/Xfire setups to share their memory pool."

 

^ this is actually a good point, about how with windows 10 and dx12, the memory will be shared (unlike how it is today).

4 way Crossfire would have access to 4x8gb = 32gb of ram.
