Users on the r/LocalLLaMA subreddit are discussing the stagnation of VRAM capacity in NVIDIA's 70-class graphics cards. Despite improvements in core performance across generations like the 4070, 5070, and their Super variants, the VRAM has remained at 12GB, a minimal increase from 8GB offered by the 1070 a decade prior. This limitation hinders the cards' potential for running local AI models, leading to speculation that NVIDIA may be intentionally limiting VRAM to encourage purchases of more expensive, VRAM-heavy cards for AI applications.
