Note: it's less about demand and more about price discrimination. Prosumers realize a higher benefit from their graphics cards and therefore have a higher willingness to pay, but they have higher RAM requirements than do others. This allows nvidia to segment their customer base by restricting the RAM on their gaming cards. If they didn't restrict the RAM on their gaming cards then they couldn't segment them. That doesn't mean there's not consumer demand for cards with higher RAM and marginally higher prices.
