I'm not sure if it's the point GP is trying to make, but I would like to see GPUs with extra VRAM that don't have the extra compute. eg. similar performance of a 4070Ti but with 24GB or 32GB of VRAM.

I don't see a really good reason why OEMs couldn't do that now, in the past there have been OEM cards that have more VRAM than the reference design. I'm sure there's an appetite for cards like that for people who don't want to refinance their home loan to get 2 x RTX 4090 cards.



I'm fairly sure that NVIDIA is making sure that consumer cards are no good alternative to their $10000 80GB VRAM A100 cards.
