Current VRAM prices are like that, because of Nvidias greed.
I assembled one of my previous gaming PCs 10 years ago and installing 32 GB of RAM wasn't a problem back then.
But you can't even buy a consumer GPU with 32 GB of VRAM. Data center cards are considerably more expensive.
There's no technical reason to not have 100+GB consumer GPUs today.
- CuriouslyC 3y agoHistorically consumer cards have been driven by the needs of gamers, and data center cards have mostly been slightly retooled consumer cards. Since game graphic needs have plateaued to some degree and I expect as AI gets incorporated into more things we'll see consumer cards that have lower game performance but a lot of memory and good basic model performance.
