Today is a gaming product announcement and I'm not sure that games have a need even beyond 12 GB today. I suspect that the 4090 price not budging much is telling as far as what ram amount demand has been focused on for games.
I assume they will soon have a professional card announcement that includes 48GB+ cards. Assuming that the high ram cards have improvements similar to this generational leap in the gaming market, they will be in high demand.

- arecurrence 4y agoI believe part of the problem is they went with 24 GB gaming cards a couple years ago and the need for that didn't materialize. Hence, cold feet for launching with 48 GB because there still isn't a need for more than 12 GB and 48 GB impinges on their high margin professional market.
