NVIDIA 4000 Series

I think the one thing we will see, next generation, is more vram.

All the 3080/3080ti/4070ti/4070 owners will inevitably be forced to upgrade again when a broken game gets ported across to PC. All part of Jensen’s plan.

This. The tops cards will have enough but Nvidia will continue to starve lower cards to force more frequent upgrades or to get people to buy top cards.

You could be right.

It's the one thing that makes no "upgrade" sense to me. Sure, NVIDIA can increase prices, and it's very possible they may never decrease them, and I might have still bought one, but with the higher cost I would demand higher longevity - and thanks to the VRAM situation, NVIDIA are completely missing the mark.

I watched that video and there is performance to be had at huge power consumption.

Intel need 250W to match AMD at 100W with their cpus but no one seems to care. People just accept that type of power usage even if you can get very similar results at far less Wattage. Double standards are applied all across the tech industry and sometimes it a nothing burger and sometimes it is outrageous and the company should be castigated.

There's quite a difference between CPU and GPU power consumption when it comes specifically to gaming though which is what this would be aimed at, Yes I can push my 13900K to 250 watts if I want to in benchmarks that hammer the CPU but in games I've yet to see it go over 120 watts, Most of the time it hovers around 80 watts.

GPU's on the other hand are a different kettle of fish as with modern games becoming very demanding you want all the performance you can get your hands on but not at the heat/power output cost of a 600 watt card, That would be ludicrous.

Also worth mentioning that one thing is 100w vs 250w and another 300w vs. 600w, both in cooling, heat dumped in the room, but also size.
 
There needs to be a:

5090 24gb
5080 16gb (no we dont need 2 variants, just 1 will do thanks)

Everything else should retain at least 12-16gb and 8gb should be a thing of the past unless its some crappy 5050 card that no one will use for gaming.

It was only two years ago they said that 8GB was fine. Now it's 12GB. At that rate, but the time the 5000 is released (2025) it will be a minimum of 16GB? Who's going to buy a 5080 with the minimum RAM? Strikes me that AMD got it right, and NVIDIA are way out.

Nvidia being nvidia will do it, they will release a 12gb version first to grab the desperate and the impatient then a few months later will release a 16gb version. Everyone will moan, history will repeat itself, nothing changes.

Oh and there will be no doubt another thread asking if 12gb enough for 2025?

A lot can change between now and the rumored 2025 launch, Or more likely Q4 2024, It wouldn't surprise me if Nvidia decided to do 32GB on the 5090.

One of us, One of us, One of us, One of us ! :D

So the latest 5090 rumor is that it will have a proper 512-bit bus and 32Gb of DDR7 VRam.

Definitely holding out for one now.

Well you have roughly 14 months to wait if Nvidia are release in the same time frame as the 3000 and 4000 series, Possibly more if they really did shift 5000 series to 2025, So let's hope it's good !

Been browsing a lot more on my mobile these days and sigs don't show up unless I flip the phone horizontally which I never do for browsing. I mean I may have glanced it before but never paid attention until today :cry:
