The RTX 3090 is targeted more towards the prosumers and enthusiasts. There's a reason why they showcased the RTX 3080 as their main consumer grade card instead of their flagship.

Nvidia can pretty much price those any way they want, since they offer the most amount of CUDA cores and copious amount of VRAM, which is needed for work and are willing to pay for it/invest in. But I should think that 10GB of ultra fast GDDR6X will be enough for next generation of 4K gaming.

For others on the edge, there are hints of more models in the future with more ram. I don't think its personally a big deal. The 8GB on the 3070 will limit that card however somewhat in the near future.

It's still shitty for people like me who are just below the prosumer.

If I buy the 3090 I'm gonna hate myself when they release the 3080ti next year.

If I buy the 3080 I'm gonna hate myself when they release the 3080ti next year.

If I wait for the 3080ti I'm gonna hate myself because I still can't play all the cool games properly.

I just cannot win here.

And that's before considering the possibility of a 3080 with 20GB launching next year as well.

In any case, an with the 3080 launching in two weeks, most stores will already be out of pre-order cards, so if you haven't secured one, you'll have to wait a bit to get one. But at least that will let you read the reviews and take a better decision.

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 2020. 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.

I know it's hard to believe, man, but we're already in the future, we're already in 2020 . Maybe you meant 2022?
