i don't know of any game that even at 4k uses more than 12gb of gddr5 memory. in fact, most games at 4k using 10gb are not running at 60fps and if it is, it's a 1080ti.

So, this is rather useless hype.

You forget that this is about Quadro graphics cards, which do need insane amounts of VRAM. There is a reason why enterprise servers have over 100GB of DRAM and consumer PCs only need around 8-16GB. Everything is workload dependent.

On the consumer side, I'd imagine that a Quadro RTX 5000 equivalent would have 8GB of VRAM while a Quadro RTX equivalent would have 12GB of VRAM. Gamers don't need the extra VRAM, Pros do.

Quadro RTX not Geforce GTX, these things are used for productivity not gaming. not to mention the price difference between consumer level GPUs compared to Enterprise cards is huge.

Quadro RTX 5000 16GB $2,300
Quadro RTX 6000 24GB $6,300
Quadro RTX 8000 48GB $10,000

sorry guys, but i think the news were about samsung producing those chips, not that those chips are in the RTX Quadro.
