Itโs pretty clear based on the 5090โs 32 gb of ram that they donโt hate vram. They just hate you not overpaying for it.

The laptop cards are even worse, same vram as previous generation.

I wonder if they do this so you feel the need to spring for the pricier model to get more RAM

At this point, they must be trying to avoid a Pascal situation with mid range GPU’s. Those 1080ti’s really don’t want to give up the fight!

I find it kind of disturbing that I feel more secure staying with my RX 6800 rather than going back to nvidia, which is releasing cards 2 gen’s ahead of it.

Even on the 4000 series it was.. meh.
But now on the next-gen 50 series, where 1080p raytracing is pushing almost 15gb on ultra settings. Boi are the people in for a surprise when their GPU has enough Power, but not enough Vram for their 4k raytracing dreams..LOL

POV: the arc b580 still has more vram and probably the same performance than a 5060 while still being cheaper

I have a theory: Nvidia purposely use less VRAM for they consumer graded GPU so that companies are forced to buy the overpriced server line up.

Would this be considered a “Decoy Effect”?
Most semi-reasonable PC enthusiasts would recognize 8GB of Vram isn’t enough… so they’d spend a little more to get the 5070.
Those that can’t afford a 5070.. will get a card that has no longevity, and would likely need another upgrade in a cycle or two.
Either way, as long as people keep buying, Jensen get to grow his $117Bn net worth

Have you seen the cost of the server cards? Why would they put VRAM in consumer cards, when they can instead force data centers to buy Teslas for 10x the price.

Love it, make me feel a lot better about my recent purchase of a used 2080 Ti.
Will probably have on par performance compute wise too, maybe slightly better.
The 5050 will just be a sub par GPU with a low quality printed picture of VRAM sellotaped to where the ram chips are supposed to be soldered.
