I can picture the engineers sat down at the table at 2am 10 drinks deep and 1 shouts out with excitement in his eyes "Lower end cards with lots of memory, High end cards with less memory, YES, This is the way !"

This is the only thing that makes sense as to why some low end cards have more memory than high end cards, 2am drunk decisions.

Well maybe if people spend less time arguing about how bad 3080 10GB sucks and trying to convince others the same and maybe if some of the owners where so unhappy with a 3080 they could have sold it before the 4070 hit the market and pretty much got a 4070 for free or not much extra outlay. Even now, some people are still willing to pay 425-450+ on that auction site for what some people on here are calling a dead and obsolete card when at this moment OCUK sell 3 different 4070's for £578 new with a warranty, Diablo 4 and 2GB of extra VRAM.

It gets even more sad as had Nvidia they named the 4070 the 4060ti as many people have said it should have been named this would have pushed the 3080 10GB to a xx60 class tier of GPU.

I don't think it's the engineers as engineers will always try to build the best product they can. These weird vram configurations is the type of thin that senior management and bean counters come up with

Nvidia will lean heavy into low end cards havng more VRAM thing as people will find out that a 8GB card for example gets 40fps in a game at max settings but lows under 10fps but the same model card 16GB card gets 40fps and even if theres no frame rate drop at all on the lows that card still games at 40fps which is pretty much not worth playing at max settings.

Cards not only need more VRAM they need to get faster also.

Just plonk this here for the lulz.


This explains it


Jensen has been saying Moore's law is dead and now he says why, it's because it's running at double the predicted scale, so Moore's law isn't dead but it's evolved and is running twice as fast so now it's called Jensen's law and every generation is 4 times faster than the last because "AI reasons"

RTX5000 is gonna have dlss4, it doubles the frames generation frames generated compared to dlss3's generated frames from frame generation, so that's 4x generated frames for the frame generation and therefore rtx5000 is 4x faster thanks to Jensen's Law

Hopefully 4090 users will get the benefit of 24gb vram unlike the 3090 lot before the 5070 arrives
:cry:
Having said that, most of the 3090 owners have already upgraded to a 4090
:cry:

We feel for you really... Just keep telling us how good DLSS2/3 is.. and all these amazing features that eat VRAM up and fake frames.. Maybe DLSS4 will fake VRAM for 10GB users ?

Ohh forgot to add :-

ULMB2 actually seems pretty good

it appears to generate a significantly sharper and smoother image than existing strobing techniques such as the previous best in class used by Benq and its also significantly better than higher refresh screens that don't use strobing such as the 1080p 500hz screens on the market

It looks like ulmb2 takes 2ms to run so it's limited to around 360hz screens at present, that's why they choose to give the firmware update to the new Asus 1440p 360hz screen but the tech is impressive - assuming the comparisons in this video are representative of real life the Asus 360hz ips lcd panel with ulmb2 active is producing significantly sharper and smoother looking motion than the 500hz TN monitors and it's so better looking than 240hz OLEDs

Just updating with some comparisons

Apart from being sharper and clearer, the Asus screen also benefits from higher brightness with ulmb2 enabled than DyAc screens

Remember the old 'Apple reality distortion fiield' saying? Jensen is living in the nvidia version.

I did say he's gone full narcissist.. this presentation just proves my point now.. I wish his staff luck.. if that is what he has for an A.I demonstration and bets the company on..

Was incredibly embarrassing to watch and must have been very awkward for the people sat there watching it unfold..

Also the joke "the more you buy the more you save" has become an insult to the customers of their products...

Can you imagine if he ended up getting ARM... :rolleyes:
