Maybe, but if they strapped these with 64gb+ wouldn’t that be wasted on folks buying it for its intended purpose? Gaming. Though the “intended use” is changing

Maybe, but if they strapped these with 64gb+ wouldn’t that be wasted on folks buying it for its intended purpose? Gaming. Though the “intended use” is changing and has been for a bit now.
- whywhywhywhy 2y agoXX90 is only half a gaming card it's also the one the entire creative professional 3D CGI, AI, game dev industry runs on.
- knowitnone 2y agohmmm, maybe they can had different offerings like 16GB, 32GB, 64GB, etc. Maybe we can even have 4 wheels on a car.
- mox1 2y agoNot really, the more textures you can put into memory the faster they can do their thing. PC gamers would say that a modern mid-range card (1440p card) should really have 16GB of vram. So a 5060 or even a 5070 with less than that amount is kind of silly.
- Aerroon 2y agoThe only reason gaming doesn't use all the VRAM is because typically GPUs don't have all the VRAM. If they did then games would somehow find a way to use it.
- jajko 2y agoGame engines are optimized for lowest common denominator, being in this case consoles. PC games are rarely exclusivities, so same engine has to make it running with least ram available and differences between versions are normally small. One normally uses some ultra texture pack to utilize current gen card's memory fully on many games.
- Aerroon 2y agoConsoles would have more VRAM too if these cards had more VRAM. It's not like they're made separately in isolation.
