Nvidia indeed does this with the *60 cards, which are limited to 8 GB. They probably copied this upselling strategy from Apple laptops.

- nacs 2y agoExcept now, Apple with it's shared VRAM/RAM model now has better deals especially past 24GB of VRAM than you get with Nvidia now (for inference at least). A Macbook or Mac Mini with 32GB as a whole system is now cheaper than a 24GB Nvidia card.
- cubefox 2y agoThat's an interesting point about unified memory. But I assume most people will use their graphics card for video games rather than machine learning inference. And most non-console games are programmed for Windows and non-unified memory.
