Just noticed this while browsing on Newegg. What’s the point of having the same card come with 2 different VRAM options?

    Nvidia gives zero shits about “gamers blow back”. As long as Nvidia keeps up the momentum and has AMD always chasing them and playing catch-up with features they don’t have to worry about “gamer blow back”. Nvidia game works/hair works, VRR, ai upscaling, ray tracing, frame generation, etc. AMD is on a perpetual treadmill.

    They know they have a near monopoly on PC sales (discreet, laptop, prebuilts, etc).

    It’s still a decent revenue stream for them, but it doesn’t matter what they do because most PCs use Nvidia hardware.

    This is 100% a way to artificially segment their products and get professionals to spend huge amounts of money in order to get adequate amounts of VRAM.in reality, VRAM isn’t a huge extra cost.
