It's because, depending on the size of GDDR chips available at a given moment, only certain combinations of bandwidth/size are available.Whatever happened to just giving the different levelled tiers of GPUs normal amounts of VRAM... 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32GB etc.. I don't get it why we need 10GB or 20GB....
In this case, 12GB would've been great for the 3080, but potentially the bandwidth would've been the same as the 3090, which would have not created enough segmentation.
Thus they had to chose 10GB, which can already be limiting in some present games (e.g. battlefield 5 4Kmax with RT on), with the option of launching a different tier later on, if they feel the card is not competitive enough.
Nvidia doesn't panic, but they plan ahead and take competition very seriously. That's why they win so often, even sometimes when they don't have the best performance or the best price-performance ratio. They rarely leave theùselves open and that's how any well-organized company should be.Big Navi not even released and they are panicking already. Would have thought this would be part of the mid-life update. Anyway 10Gb or 20GB you won't be getting one soon.
