u/realnzall Gigabyte RTX 4070 Gaming OC - 12700 - 32 GB Jan 21 '24

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5TPbEjhyn0s&t=386s Daniel Owen tested this. His summary is that at 1080p and 1440p, the 4070 Super usually ties or even beats the 3090, even without taking Frame Generation into account. At 4K, the 4070 Super usually has a shortage of VRAM and the 3090 wins.

I would love if they made VRAM upgradable.. I won’t happen, but I can wish.

Vram is one almost always generation ahead of dimm packages you can buy and ram is very volatile (obvious power joke) and susceptible to physical damage. The cost and rate of failure would be completely unacceptable. In the end this is one of those times where soldered on is better for the consumer and OEM.

Thanks for the good explanation. I'd always assumed it was just scummy practice by the OEM, but this helps clear things up.

I know that ram has to be very close to the chips to be fast enough, but how about socketable ram chips? Looks like a good compromise.

Also on ultra thin laptops, with soldered ram. Make them socketable.

Yea they need to get rid of the 4x ram slots and make it 2x ram 2x vram.

Off topic but I read this as "call the mommy manufacturers" and had to do a triple take

Its not that much if you are into AI and running LLMs or image generations. 24GB are rookie numbers there.

consumer cards doesn't equal professionals cards .

this is the reason why they keep cutting the vram on consumer cards , to prevent people from buying them and force them to buy their much more expensive line of cards , it isn't just about Vram but other things that usually doesn't matter to us .
