I'm speculating that they positioned the 5080 to provide the ability to run ultra levels of settings at 1440P where 16 GB is plenty. I run everything at max on mine and have never hit a VRAM limit. Can it do 4K? Yeah, no doubt, but there may be some limitations.
Right now 1440P is the fastest...
I just watched GN's synopsis.
Aaaaand, much of nothing. A better integrated GPU with frame gen and voodoo math to make it look better.
And some AI AI AI AI AI oh
x86 rules the roost in healthcare technology, which is where I'm parked. We require Windows, and not emulated Windows. An SOC isn't going to work. At least not right now. Maybe for thin clients as Citrix is being adopted at higher rates.
I'd imagine they'd need some very specialized equipment in order to monitor current load on each wire simultaneously. I think Der8auer or GN has such equipment.
It was either GN or De8auer that tested that. Found that some wires were pulling an unusually high amount of current while others almost nothing.
I agree, flawed design.
what is it you consider a "normal car"? Your basic base model Civic or Corolla these days can run the 1/4 mile in 15 seconds at 85-90 MPH. Certainly doesn't take a mile to hit 100. This isn't europe where our cars are neutered.
Eventually this will die off once someone develops a ASIC that's is a lot more powerful and efficient for specific AI needs. I'd imaging storage and memory will be condensed for clustered processing. Just have to give it time.
The AI boom is just like the mining boom. Nvidia won't exit the consumer market, they'll just limit consumer parts production and jack up the prices while they feed the majority of their production to AI companies.
