I've seen in recent news that 8GB of GDDR 6 can be bought in bulk for $27. There's really no excuse for vendors to not add more vRAM in expensive graphics cards these days, aside the fact that they wanted them to be swapped for new model quicker in the future (planned obsolescence). And that's it. Defending that behaviour of vendors has no excuse anymore.

DLSS Momentum Continues: 50 Released and Upcoming DLSS 3 Games, Over 250 DLSS Games and Creative Apps Available Now

Not sure how many times it has to be said. They have a great excuse to continue. They do it to maximise profits by upselling and yes and an element of planned obsolescence to get you to upgrade more often I suppose.
Just an FYI, that is not me defending them. That is me being realistic. That is why I think they do it. And unless sales slump seriously, they will continue unfortunately.
We are in full agreement here, yes. And even if sales drop, Nvidia doesn't seem to care. Gaming market is not their main market anymore, by far. And if they want their graphics cards to be seen as luxury products, they might be very happy with higher margins but smaller sales - as that frees a lot of GPUs for their main markets, which is enterprise and AI.
Which is why I like to compare Nvidia to Apple - for a while now they seemed to be pushing towards becoming "Apple" of gaming GPUs. And with that come all the silly fans (not talking about most people here, though - the actual bad kind can be much worse) defending the most shady practices of such vendor. And that doesn't mean the product is bad at all - DLSS, RT and other tech plus performance, it's all good. But with what prices? And the future, I suspect, will be when worse in that regard.

What's Up With The Missing NVIDIA DLSS Support In AMD Sponsored FSR Titles?
NVIDIA, with the help of its open-source tools, is helping game devs not only integrate DLSS but also AMD FSR & Intel XeSS into their titles.

AMD finally learning a few tricks from Nvidia that's all, they've been pulling dick moves for decades

Good! 
This, besides who pays for a feature to be added and then says add the superior paywalled alternative while your at it?AMD finally learning a few tricks from Nvidia that's all, they've been pulling dick moves for decades

AMD the majority of the time blocks competitor upscaling tech citing the BS excuse of "we want to be open"... there's nothing open about blocking other upscaling solutions from also being implemented... AMD not so much of "the good guy" after all.

When your solution sucks, why would you want your customers seeing it compared to the better one?
Sad part is the customers defending it because most of them are frustrated and/or jealous. Good for the company tho, they dont even have to pay them.

Yup the fact they refused to support an "open source solution" that would have benefitted not just gamers, developers (something they like to keep re-iterating) but also themselves (given how poor FSR 2.2+ adoption still is.....) says it all but sadly some people just can't see through amds "good guy" pr image

What I find quite strange is a fair few games that have FSR1 for whatever reason won't get an upgrade to FSR2 which is a lot better than FSR1.
This subject came up with a supposed Ubisoft dev last year when talking of AC:Valhalla and why that's not getting what would be a fairly straight forward upgrade from FSR1 to FSR2 which wouldn't take a lot of time, Something like 2 days dev time required... but they just weren't allowed to do it, He didn't say whether this was a block by the studio at large or by AMD but I find behavior like this quite odd and doesn't go with AMD's supposed mantra of "being open".

It'll be Ubisoft, they don't like spending money unless they totally have to (have poor sales across a lot of their recently released games prob doesn't help).
