Using the price as an excuse for less memory is a pretty dick move when there is a way too expensive card with 24GB, which according to him is way too much for anyone's needs.

To be fair he said more then you need for 4k which the target market for 3080.  They position 3090 in there marketing as a 8k card.  8k is 4 times more pixels then 4k.  6GB*4= 24GB.

But he's also using current games, actually ports from PS4/X1, to defend his statement when memory demand will increase in the near future as more and more games launch on the new consoles with 4K textures and assets.

The 3080 is a powerhouse, no doubt about that, but Nvidia has also made sure to fit just enough memory for today's needs so that many users will want to jump into the next gen of cards, with more memory.
