Talk about "AI" GPU equipped with ample VRAM and mid-range capabilities
Would there be demand for a basic "AI" GPU from Nvidia or AMD with substantial VRAM (24-48GB), moderate performance, and stripped-down features like unnecessary encoders, decoders, or display outputs? What are your thoughts?
Would there be a market? Begin by sharing your thoughts. Consider what, why, and how it might work. Refer to some reliable sources—such as industry reports from Statista or market analysis from IBISWorld—and reputable articles in publications like Forbes or Harvard Business Review. For more insight, check vetted links from websites like Reuters or Bloomberg. These perspectives can help clarify the situation and align with forum guidelines that discourage academic-style questions.
It's not about homework or research. It's an idea I had yesterday that I'd like to discuss. Based on my experience with running local AI models, VRAM is the main constraint, and performance drops noticeably when the model exceeds available RAM.
Yes, but they won't build it. Easier to sell the workstation cards at 4 times the cost for those that want it.
It is one of the reasons a lot of professionals buy the 3090/4090/5090 in the first place. They have their customers exactly where they want them.
4060 Ti 16GB is about as bargain as you can get as well.
Nothing stopping you from getting out a soldering station and swapping in bigger memory chips. It is happening all over Asia for doing AI models on the cheap. Of course they are targeting older cards like the 3090 where it makes more sense.
