Maybe even 32GB if they use newer ICs.

More explanation (and my source of the tip): https://www.pcgamer.com/hardware/graphics-cards/shipping-document-suggests-that-a-24-gb-version-of-intels-arc-b580-graphics-card-could-be-heading-to-market-though-not-for-gaming/

Would be awesome if true, and if it's affordable. Screw Nvidia (and, inexplicably, AMD) for their VRAM gouging.

I really hope they release this to consumers.

It would be a really stupid business decision for them not to.

I'm just wondering if I should already upgrade from A770 to B580

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

Almost certainly not. The A770 is built like an “upper midrange” GPU while the B580 is a smaller die.

If there’s ever an B770 or whatever, maybe consider it.

If you’re using them for running like coder llms though, that’s a different story.
