| Jizz_Beard_thePirate said: Yea it depends but Nvidia generally considers their workstation GPUs when configuring the specs for their consumer GPUs while Radeon doesn't since with a lot of Nvidias consumer GPUs, they can do workstation tasks almost as well as their workstation GPUs but the only real cuck is that Vram. But I do think similar to Kepler > Maxwell > Pascal where Vram has gone up, Blackwell will also see Vram go up. Just the question is whether or not the price will also go up like with Lovelace. Still my predictions are: 5090: 24GB I don't think we will see a 12GB 60 class for a while lol |
That's true. Especially now since their GPU's are quite sought after with the Ai boom. Still some wierd configurations considering (for the consumer grade DGPU's). Like the 16GB 4060Ti; that's really low bandwidth and VRAM amount doesn't match at all. I just think they are just too slow to react to the market where more and more games are using more memory but the progress in offerings just doesn't suffice. Even seeing 8GB cards released today at $300+ is just pure stagnation. Then I look at the actual specs and its all so lul-worthy. I just worry with the advent of both new cutting edge tech with TSMC's 3nm and GDDR7 release it will again go up, yet again. But also performance upgrade will also be decent.
That's a good prediction. Still would like Nvidia to move on from 8GB lol.. but yeah sadly can see yet another 8GB 60 tier card. 12GB should really be the minimum for a mainstream 1080P card, that can do 1440P in 2024/2025. 16GB is probably the sweet spot for games and can't see that being a limitation any time soon. So that's a good choice for the 70 and 80. Would be crazy if either AMD or Nvidia decides to put 32GB in their flagship(s).

Should be a good time to jump in. 7900XT will drop to sub $700 at the rate its going and the 7800 and 7700XT will be out. Lots of choices for good performance and a good amount of VRAM for current and future games.
| Chazore said: Fixed it for you* If there's anything more I'd like to see changed, it's that Nvidia stop trying to Titan-fy the flagship model and go back to how it I supposed to be, with the 80 model actually being an 80 model and being the main flagship, not the 90 being an 80, 80 being 70, 70 being 60, etc, it just muddles everything up for those who aren't in the know and I believe suckers ppl into buying the wrong model, simply going by how Nvidia currently numbers them. if we ever needed a Ti variant, at best a 4080ti/4070ti, nothing more than that really (just like how we had the 1080ti and 980ti, and both were great cards I owned at those times). |
Yeah, this time they used a totally different SKU for the 4080, which sucks. And to add insult to injury, charged several hundreds on top of that. They did boost the VRAM but that's like what $40-60 extra cost to the board. Which leaves a bad taste for consumers, hence why people aren't interested in them.
And unfortunately since the 4090 has sold so well, as did the 3090. I very much doubt they'll get rid of that moniker and name. They should really go back to the 80 tier offering top SKU for the money and the titan class being well workstation/professional grade, but people have voted with their wallets and Nvidia aren't going to go back.
