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.

Yea makes sense. The next gen GPUs will come in 2.5 years and by then, most games probably won't use that much Vram as a lot will still be cross gen. When the main next gen games comes around, they should start to use more Vram.

I very much doubt it'll take that long for the next gen. My guess is latest early 2022. 5nm is pretty much ready to go for TSMC. It will definitely be a smaller step, but there is no point in waiting. I can only imagine AMD will also release very soon after Big Navi eventually fails.
