I'm hoping a 8gb or 12 gb version comes out for $500 or so. 16gb seems like overkill for the next couple years of game releases.

- dogma1138 8y agoThey can’t do 8 GB there are no 2GB HBM2 modules apparently and they can’t cut the amount of modules without cutting the CUs in half. It’s essentially just to keep up some production volume this is their HPC die sold to the consumer market its the Titan V equivalent die of AMD minus the Tensor Cores just for much much cheaper. It’s likely going to be a flop gaming wise, 2x8 pin power connectors put it at 300W TDP with performance only matching that of a 1089ti/2080 in the best case scenarios AMD currently has. The 1080ti can be had for under $600 if you can find it the 2080 is around $700 but you get RTX and DLSS which while isn’t that useful yet is going to be more useful for gaming than 16GB of memory.
- AlphaSite 8y agoThe 2080 isn't great perf/w either, not like the 1080 was.
- Yizahi 8y agoIt would all depend on next generation of consoles and their release year. I bought 3Gb card 4 years ago, when top cards from both manufacturers had 3 and 4 Gb and it was an overkill. Now it seems that 8 Gb is a normal thing (same as PS4) and at least 4 is mandatory for AAA games.
