Indeed, But memory can help in a lot of instances in terms of smoothness as less assets need to be swapped out, I remember when the Star Wars Titan Xp's came out with 12GB of memory, Basically a full fat 1080 Ti, And that simple 1GB of extra memory made a pretty nice difference to certain games...
They could in theory make their own distro but that's the good thing about Linux being open source, The community will sniff out any crap Nvidia try to hide outside of just a driver and options to control the GPU.
Makes sense considering the prices of ram means the vast majority of people flat out will not be able to afford new builds, By next year it's hopefully improved a bit.
We already know of the Vera CPU's and Rubin GPU's, The gaming GPU version coming late next year, And considering this was following his chat with SK Hynix it could be something to do with memory or even storage.
Agreed, What I find odd though is even smaller server racks with Nvidia's cards in, Say an independent studio or AI startup, Are not using this connector, They are using one akin to a PCI-e slot, I forget the correct terminology but it's sort of like the few BTF cards we've seen... so it's...
