Looks like NVidia retries the stunt they wanted to pull with the 4080, but now with the 4070:

Not just 2, but now 3 different 4070 models, with 16GB, 12GB and 10GB VRAM, and probably different amounts of Cuda cores to match, just like what NVidia tried to pull with the 4080 12GB. In fact, I have the distinct feeling like the 16GB model was originally supposed to become the 4070Ti, but had to pull it down half a tier after the 4080 12GB became the 4070Ti...

Stop Nvidia. I don't mind having different VRAM models of the same card but if the CUDA cores aren't the same then don't give them the same name. The 1060 3gb/6gb was dumb and it's still dumb.

It also partly due to their naming scheme not being flexible anymore.

Just have a look at the 8800 back in 2005. They had an Ultra, a GTX, 3 GTS variants (320MB, 640MB and a later model with another chip and 512 MB), a GT version and a GS version. But now all are RTX by default and the only naming addon they still use is a Ti
