We don’t need faster GPUs as much as we need more VRAM. Double the memory instead of leaving it stagnant again.
It's not just the lack of VRAM, it's also Nvidia and their stupidity lowering the bit bus for lower tier cards compared to the last gen counterparts.
I dont understand the VRAM cuts.... The RAM fabs have been cutting production because of low prices
I would love more VRAM so that i can have a GPU that can do a bit of gaming and dabble in some AI stuff. 100% agree i'd pay for more VRAM instead of horsepower
More memory means you can do real work with it, and enterprise AI training is a money printer that they'd be scavenging the shit out of with cards that are closer substitutes.
But then you can do work with it, and that's where the real money is at.
They should all be shipping with 32GB now... AMD is at least seeing the light by releasing some 24gb cards under $1k
Really hope Intel's next generation of GPU silicon makes it a more realistic substitute - that would actually spice things up a lot, you basically won't see real competition again until nVidia's AI training dominance is in someone's crosshairs
