    Not like Nvidia cares, Jensen Huang and company are too busy having gold dust colonics and cashing in on their AI cards.

    Im sorta out of the loop on these things, but isn’t 3GB kinda small vram capacity these days? Don’t they have like 15+? Also, 15+GB VRAM on one of these would be like a billion dollars by now, wouldn’t it?

    This is the dumbest bubble ever.

      One single module, aka one chip on the graphics card. A graphic card can have multiple chips/modules. Like 5x3gb modules making the total of 15gb of VRAM.

      Usually the black chips placed just around the actual GPU chip.

        Ah, yes thank you. I didn’t read the article, just the title, in true dummy fashion. I just interpreted it as “module” meaning the card as a “unit”

        Dumb moment.
