This drives me insane. PC Part Picker, DDR5-8400 48 GB (2x24GB) is... $340 right now. For $680 you can get 96 GB of very fast RAM. How about someone make an

  I totally agree that we should get higher vram sizes on GPUs but they are not the same as DDR5. The one you listed does around 50Gbps. A really good gpu does almost 450Gbps. Prices as you know also don’t scale linearly. For something twice as good sometimes you pay 4x the price and so on.

    This is a really important point. The architecture and the bus ram is connected to is also very different on on a discrete card than it is in a cpu. Each compute unit needs dedicated bus width connected to dedicated memory. So for most GPUs you can double the ram, but you couldn’t just add the equivalent of a stick of ddr5 because it wouldn’t match the dedicated bus

  IIRC it's a market segmentation thing

  That high price tag is most often attributed to the type of memory being used which in the H100's case, is HBM2e and error correcting.
