They don't want to cannibalize sales of the super-expensive GPUs dedicated to ML/AI. 5090 likely won't have more than 32 GB, if even that much.

- Tenoke 3y agoI made a Manifold market[0] on the amount of ram a 5090 will have, and while pretty much nobody has participated, I just checked and the market is amusingly at the 32GB you've also quoted. Just like you, I hope it will be more but I fear it will be even less. 0. https://manifold.markets/Tenoke/how-much-vram-will-nvidia-5090-or-c https://manifold.markets/Tenoke/how-much-vram-will-nvidia-50...
- karolist 3y agoEven 32GB would be great for a gaming card, any more and you're never seeing on sale as it will be bought by truckloads for AI, so of course they're not gonna balloon the VRAM. I suspect we'd still be at 16GB but they launched 3090 on Sep 2020 with 24GB, before all this craze really, and lowering is bad optics now.
- Culonavirus 3y agoMeanwhile Apple will sell you a chip with 96GB of unified memory for the price of two 4090s ... and that is with the Apple tax ... it's ridiculous. I know the memory bandwith of M2 Max is like 1/2 of a 4090, but still, the artificial kneecapping Nvidia does is absurd.
