Ow contrarily I'd argue the opposite. GPU vram has gotten faster but the density isn't that good. 8gb used to be high end for the early 2000's yet now 16gb can't even run games that well, especially if its a studio that loves vram.

Side note: as someone who has been into machine learning for over 10 years, let me tell ya us hobbyists and researchers hunger for compute and memory.

VRAM isn't everything.....I am well aware but certain workflows really do benefit from heaps of vram like vfx and cad and CFD. I realize that the dream of upgradable GPUs where I can upgrade the different components just like you do on the computer. Computer is slow, then upgrade ram or storage or get a faster chip that uses the same socket. GPU could possibility see modularity with the processor the vram etc.

Level1Tech has some great videos about how PCIe is the future...where we can connect systems together using raw PCI lanes, which is similar to how nvidia Blackwell servers communicate to other servers in the rack.



Wasn't that just because of Nvidia's market segmentation?
