it is 2019, the 2060ti has 8gb of vram. it is 2020, the 3060ti has 8gb of vram. it is 2023, the 4060ti has 8gb of vram. it is 2025, the 5060ti has 8gb of vram.
My 1080 from 2017 has 8gb of vram. Still works fine.
My 3060 has 12gb of vram…
You probably have to return the 4gb extra then.
The whole fact that NVIDIA is not allowing AIBs to send the 8GB card to reviewers is quite telling. They are simply banking on illiterate purchasers, system integrators to sell this variant. That’s another low for NVIDIA but hardly surprising anyone.
Planned obsolescence.
I agree, but it is still crazy that there are people out there making $500 plus purchases without the smallest bit of research. I really hope this card fails only for the reason that it deserves to.
On the flip-side, every game worth playing uses 2GB vram or less at 1080p.
Even 8GB is fine to be honest, even at high settings. People are a bit dramatic about it.
Video editing and AI require as much VRAM as you can get. Not everyone uses the cards just for gaming.
Then don’t buy the current-gen low-end card for video editing, mate. Get previous-gen with more vRAM, or go AMD.
I don’t even have a GPU, but to be honest I don’t even game anymore cuz I work more hours then there are in a day
