Lol. Went from vram being super important to now 16gb is enough.

4 years ago you guys were in the 3080gb thread laughing about my 10gb vram even though it was the 2nd best card money could buy and only 15% slower than the best card out there. Even though i said I got it for under £600 after selling the games which was a bargain.

Fast forward 4 years, you have users with more vram downgrading from 24/20gb vram to 16gb. Hilarious to see.

I always said, you will run out if performance before vram. You guys were not having it :D

The 5080 has arrived without enough VRAM. £1000 GPU which can’t handle max textures in the likes of Indiana Jones and Spiderman 2.

Doesn't that really depend on how much you're paying for a GPU? If i paid something like £500 for a GPU then 16GB probably would be enough as i wouldn't be expecting a card for 4K gaming or for it to still be usable in 5-10 years time.

If I'd spent twice that amount, or more, my expectations would be higher. I'd want something that's capable of things like 4K gaming and/or wouldn't need to be replaced for at least a couple of generations.

It does. Didn't stop people taking issue with my sub £600 3080 4 years ago.

Agreed, should have been 24GB for a £1000 card. However my point still stands, people with cards that have more than 16GB upgrading their cards to these 16GB cards :cry:

I would never pay £1000 for a GPU with 16GB.

But this is classic NVIDIA. They always give you just enough. They want you to upgrade.

I agree with the first line. But as for the second part, as shown you run out of performance before vram in majority of the cases. That is why those who got 3090 to future proof now upgrading to 16GB cards :cry:

16GB is an adequate minimum for mid range, 12GB for low end, high end the sky is the limit. It's a shame consumer cards are on gddr not hbm, radeon VII remains the king.

For some HPC-like compute not gaming :P Check out this ( https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Kxd8wQayP8FtdoKQ6k5kayM8cMNTaNJV ) chart for a particular workload, the affordable consumer cards start on row 31, N is the important column. tl;dr Radeon VII remains king, 6950XT matches the radeon VII because of the high cache but uses a little more power, RX 7000 series is worse than the 6000 series because the memory controllers in 7k are split, the MCM design was not kind to throughput I'm hoping rdna4 does better. The 5090 isn't on the chart but I know it's slightly worse than a radeon VII at this task. Look at what they need to mimic a fraction of our power ;)

Have you ever seen me question 16gb of vram on a midrange or any card for that matter. 20gb on my card is overkill. I like having it don't get me wrong but I also think 16gb is plenty for the level of performance. I think 16gb on the 4080 is also fine but at the same time that card cost close to twice what I got my card for. So perception wise the 4080 should have more. 12gb on a card costing over £700 is having a laugh.

Exactly. Think TNA forgot to drink his coffee before posting.
