I must the only one that didn't care for either ratpad I owned. The GS wore out and the XT never stayed flat.
Since switching to a glass pad I'll never use anything else.
Then make your dataset work within it's specifications. There's zero reason a gaming card like the 9070XT should have 32GB of VRAM it'll never be able to utilize in gaming, just to drive up the cost so a very small percentage of people can "tinker".
If that's the case you aren't exactly buying gaming cards for that workload. You're buying Radeon Pro's or Nvidia Ava's or H100's for DC's.
Right tool for the job.
Even if they do produce those products unlikely they'd be available in the U.S. as they lost their U.S. manufacturing and distribution. Last I heard the building was abandoned.
Why let scalpers have all the fun when they can scalp the cards themselves!
That's what I get out of it since tariffs have not been raised/enacted yet.
