JEMC said: The way Nvidia gimps its GPUs by not including enough VRAM is going to bite them in the a$$ one day or another, and I wouldn¡t mind if it's sooner rather than later. Now, I can understand that they don't want to give the 5070 the same amount of memory than the 5070Ti and 5080, but 12GB is no longer enough in this proce segment after Intel's B580, and they could have also given the 5080 more than just 16GB. In an ideal world, the 5080 would have had 24GB of VRAM, the two 5070 would have had 16GB and the two 5060 would be equipped with 12GB. |
And there is absolutely no need for being castrated with VRAM either.
Samsung has 3GB GDDR7 memory modules... Literally a drop in replacement.
So the 5070 could have had 18GB on a 192bit memory bus and the 5070Ti could have had 24GB on a 256bit bus.
The 5060Ti could have kept it's 16GB and the 5060 could have 12GB.
