Releasing a 8Gb graphics card in 2023 is cringeworthy. Add ontop of that a tini tiny 128-bit memory bus and a massive price, then you got NGreedia at it`s best. shiting on their consumers. in reality the 4060 -60 ti is a 4050-50ti when it comes to the silicone die size. the 4070 is a 4060 rtx and so on.

Undying:

Cards are doa.

TheDeeGee:

Everything seems to be DOA these days, especially if it concerns AMD users. If anything is DOA it's the comment section.

Agonist:

Considering more half of RDNA2 owners don't have to worry about vram issues, we can laugh at it. A bunch of my Nvidia friends are pissed at Nvidia with this nonsense. My best friend just sold his 3070 to buy a 6950xt. So Yea, anything 8gb vram from Ngreedia is DOA. We don't care about your fanboy feelings here.

TimmyP:

Its AMD pushing a vram agenda. Vram is not the issue you fool. They are trying to push people to console, since thats where they make their money.

KissSh0t:

I don't understand why they keep shrinking the bus width, 192 was already too small for my liking and now they have put the 60 series on 128......... wtf

if we do the basic calculation rx 580 with 8gbps gddr5 memory we have (2ghz real frequency) x(4 ,quad data rate) x (256bit bus) /8 = 256GB/s for 18Gbps gddr6 on a 256bit bus (4.5ghz real frequency)x(4 ,quad data rate)x(256bit bus) /8 = 576 GB/s for 18Gbps gddr6 on a 384bit bus (like a titan Xp) (4.5ghz)x(4)x(384)/8 = 864GB/s for hbm 2 2.4gbps on 2 stacks (feasibly a vega 64 card could be equiped with this) (1.2ghz real frequency)x ( 2 ,double data rate) x (2048 bit bus) /8 = 614GB/s for hbm2 on 4 stacks (vega 20 machine learning gpu) (1228.8gb/s) so i'd say that the gddr6 has an advantage if its cheaper than hbm2 particularly in the consumer range of products, since its offers similar bandwidth and doesn't need an interposer. however i will say once you go past a 384bit bus things get more expensive, and require alot more space than a similar hbm2 solution, hbm is still superior interm of its charateristics (power consumption (pretty sure), space efficency, memory density ect) but its cost is the inhibiting factor what i would expect to see from gddr6 is the return of 64 bit and 128bit bus gpus to mainstream, since the bandwidth provided will actually be enough to be useful, will either make cards cheaper , or more profitable .

makes the card cheaper to manufacture, fewer memory chips and less complicated pcb. going as expected
