From these rumors/leaks, except for the 5090, which is out of context, the new RTXs appear anything but exciting in terms of specs.
They can’t stick with the same VRAM allocations from the 5080 down, they just can’t, sure from the 12gb 4070 you will be able to run most games now at 1440p but developers have blankety given up cowtailing to NVidia strangling VRAM, and even on a year I think we’ll see new games requiring over 16Gb (there are already a couple that do breach it)From these rumors/leaks, except for the 5090, which is out of context, the new RTXs appear anything but exciting in terms of specs.
I completely agree; according on the specs in these leaks, the current RTX SUPER and the future RTX 50 are practically identical. I hope those are ''false specs'' and that NVIDIA, at least once in a lifetime, will act properly and release cards which are suitable for the new requirements without having to wait for the mid-gen refresh.They can’t stick with the same VRAM allocations from the 5080 down, they just can’t, sure from the 12gb 4070 you will be able to run most games now at 1440p but developers have blankety given up cowtailing to NVidia strangling VRAM, and even on a year I think we’ll see new games requiring over 16Gb (there are already a couple that do breach it)
If this does turn out to be true, it’s pure negligence for the sake of saving pennies on the dollar, VRAM isn’t even that expensive!
Weird, this had already been confirmed before Christmas by Zotac as they publicly listed them by accident
