retard here. why does it matter that a gpu has more than 8gb of ram? I already have 64gb of ram in my pc
>>
first they said they're only providing the boards without memory, then it's going back to gddr6 memory, now it's back to 8gb
which is it?
fucking none of them, cus people are just speaking out their ass
>>

Gpu accessing system ram over the pcie bus very very slow, so bad that it's not even worth considering even if it were made possible

Gpu accessing vram very very fast because it's so close by and specialized

Now you remember all the smug retards that believed in irrational RTX 50 Super rumors with shitloads of VRAM.

The funniest thing is these rumors came out around the same time 8GB 5060 was released and Nvidia tried their best to damage control it by limiting access to reviewers, blacklisting them and forcing to test these only when compared to other xx60 GPUs and only in games with frame generation.

>>730746467
I am not very optimistic, but I hope this mess can turn out to be a blessing in disguise. Maybe devs will be forced to at least put some effort into optimizing their games now.

Every day I am thankful that I bit the bullet and upgraded everything around the time the 50 series dropped despite retards insisting it was an awful decision and I'd be sorry when the 50 supers dropped
>>
>>730751026
Same. I just wish I bought more RAM, but since RAM's historically been cheap as shit I figured I'd use 32 a bit and see if I actually had situations where I needed more

And despite the new parts I'm fucking terrified that there's a power surge or my PSU takes a dump and takes my system with it. Likely? Probably not, but over the decades I've lost enough computers to shit like that. House already been struck by lightning once since upgrading
>>
>>730746467
I'm a iGPU fag but a worryless one, since my mobo has a PCIE5 slot so I can engage with the waiting game.
Still wish I could grab a 9070 XT

>irrational RTX 50 Super rumors
Super was literally planned, those weren't even rumors, much less irrational ones
>>
>>730754120
Saying that new Supers will be a thing was a prediction on par with new Call of Duty being released this year.

Doesn't change the fact that gorillions of VRAM for Supers rumors were ridiculous.
Didn't you people see the shit Nvidia pulled out with 8GB 5060?

Hopefully this means I can keep my 5070 until the earth collapses on itself.

Laughs in 12GB 3060.

>gtx 1070 notebook version had 8gb in 2016
>rtx 5060 will have 8gb in 2026
well, technically the numbering has gone from 70 to 60 so there has to have been some progress..
>>
>>730750418
Maybe 5% of them (generous estimate) will downscale their games so they'll run on a toaster. Or a Switch.
The other 95% will continue to carry on pushing all of the current rendering tech nonsense because Nvidia and Epic give them financial incentive to do so. It will be another opportunity for them to push framegen even harder instead of optimization.
