Need? Who knows. Do customers want it for various reasons? Absolutely.
4k and 8k gaming are definitely going to be a thing. Those textures are pretty big. (I think Final Fantasy XV is like 80GB larger if you get the 4k textures?)
- wruza 7y agoThe article says that it is unlikely for consumer cards to get 20gb. The same chips go to pro-level cards, and they will have it. As far as I know from the latest gossip and tech details, 4k textures pretty much fit 8gb, and 4k gaming still struggles with 60fps, which 3840 cores will not change by a large margin. From that, 8k is simply a marketing move (apart from eye physics). Also, 4k/144 requires an active cooling of a monitor, and these still cost too much to become mainstream in 30xx lifetime. 8k is basically 4k x4, do the math.
