Hmmmm... I wonder why....
Over $1000 for latest gen GPU that still has the same 16GB VRAM as the last generation
I'm not sure what you mean? This article is about AMD. Nvidia is the one that skimps on the vram. Amd's 7800 xt has 16 gb of vram and is $500. Their most expensive gpu is the 7900 xtx for about $950 currently and it has 24 gb.
Nvidia 4080 is over $1000 and has 16 gb of vram though.
I agree gpus are too expensive, but if amd gpus go under, Nvidia will have even more power to price gouge. I'm rooting for Intel too to bring even more competition in.
Also, when AMD goes under, Linux users are fucked even more.
I really hope the next generation can push into the midrange too. That's kinda where the meat is at in regards to the market size. Unfortunately I feel they'd likely steal more from AMD than from Nvidia.
