tl:dw some the testing shows 300-500% improvements in the 16GB model. Some games are completely unplayable on 8GB while delivering an excellent experience on the 16GB.

It really does seem like Nvidia is intentionally trying to confuse their own customers for some reason.

To me it sounds like they are preying on the gamer who isn't tech savvy or are desperate. Just a continuation of being anti-consumer and anti-gamer.

Yup. This is basically aimed at the people who only know that integrated GPUs are bad and they need a dedicated card, so system manufacturers can create a pre built that technically checks that box for as little money as possible.
