Imagine the retards that bought this thing holy shit what a bunch sub 90 iq morons.

What's wrong with 12GB? I've never gotten close to maxing out 8GB
My 1080 ti has 11g. Why have graphics cards barely moved in the amount of gram since then?
they have, the top of the line cards have more then double, just mid-range cards are getting shafted by Novideo because they think people will buy them off of name recognition alone
Because of datacenter cards
those have 48gb, so increasing on vram for consumer cards would cut into their shekels in this higher bracket
Also because AMD can't stop shitting the bed and make a competitor to them
they just capitulated and surrendered the entire top tier bracket because of their inadequacy
Because of the way SMs are, the number are in the GPU determine the memory bus and thus the number of memory chips. And since chip size doubles that means there's two options for each given GPU SKU and they almost always pick the lower one. mostly because Nvidia force them to.
If the AiBs had their way, there would be 16GB versions of every current 8GB card. 20GB of 10GB cards and so on.
Because price wise its a scam. Anyone with above 100 iq would not buy this
Stop being poor
Why would you buy a 4070ti and not max out graphics on AAA slop?
I'm hitting 12gb on AAA games like cyberpunk, ratchet and Clank and Hogwarts on my A770 while playing on 1440p.
My hecking wizardino game and cyberpunk hit 12 gb? out of a catalog of 3 million games? It's fucking over.
Also reserved memory is not the same as used memory.
One use case: I was running out of VRAM too fast/after too little context running LLMs on my RTX A2000 12GB, so I got an RTX 4000 SFF Ada Generation 20GB
(I know I could have gotten more performance for less, but I am passively cooling it, need low TDP, and have enough money)
>Monopoly 101
One thing that's nice about AMD GPUs is that you get a lot more VRAM for the price you're paying compared to Nvidia. Also, the 320-bit memory bus on the 4070 Ti's competitor, the 7900 XT, is much wider than the 192-bit bus on the 4070 Ti.
are amd drivers as bad as people say? i havent had a red card since it was ATI
zero issues, there must have been an influx of pajeets in the software department a few years ago that got laid off
they shit the bed from time to time, playing cs stretched used to be a pain in the ass and the overlay likes to bug out but apart from that they worked perfectly fine if you don't mind an occasional reinstall
also I read that their vr performance is worse than nvidia but I don't have a headset
meanwhile my 3080 10gb works just fine for vidya
you people are rabid consoomers
well yeah if you have a last gen card upgrading would be retarded, a lot of people have older cards right now because nobody wanted to buy a new GPU during the crypto bubbles
I am still sitting on 980ti I bought back in 2015. IT is showing age, but prices have been insane since 2017 and people here think it's okay to sell their used cards for the price they bought them.
I use 1060.
I feel poor with my used 450€ 3080 10GB
When will SUPER be released? Putting together a desktop and I don't want to wait a year for $100 savings
What card am I supposed to pair with a 7800X3D?
Arc 750
Any AMD 6000 series. It's the sweet spot of GPUs.
7800 XT
7900 XTX or 4090
>obsolete
do they stop working when the next thing comes out?
>every new high GPU demand game are pozzed garbage made by shitskins who can't optimize like the white man
no reason to buy expensive GPUs anymore unless you're using it to make money
I bought a 3090 in 2020 and it still plays pretty much everything at max settings or very close.
I don't see the problem.
>obsolete
are you sure you know what this word means
I moved from a 1070 to a 4070ti, the price was more than I would normally have paid but I got an unexpected £500 which covered more than half the cost.
I did look into 30 series cards but I couldn't find a 3080 for less than £1200 which didn't seem worth it
why is it obsolete has anything better come out?
>R9 290 is 10+ years old
>has 8gb vram
How much vram did the top gpus have 10 years before the release of R9 290?
both the GeForce FX 5950 and Radeon 9800 XT had 256M options
At least the drivers work
>Obsolete in 8 months of release
yes they all just stop working after 8 months, like your brain
12gb is still more than enough to run most games on max. anyway, ti supers will be the next big step for future proofing. thanks for beta testing
People were shitting on the 4060Ti with 16GB but as a component of secondary (entertainment focussed) PC I have it running 24/7 in a little ITX case with parts I already had laying around.
Either using it for chat with the Mistral 7B (finetuned on some data) or running games.
The 4070 (Ti) with 12GB VRAM cant even load 7B models in 16b precision
