    How? 4GB/32bit yields are limited, and 2GB/32bit are readily available. You know what's worst? GDDR7 starting cap will be 4GB/32bit (based on trend). Are you gonna complain both Nvidia and AMD launching 8GB card with just 64bit bus?

    ​@@AlfaPro1337the price is too high, you can easily find a 7900xt with the same performance, 320 but bus width and 20gb VRAM... Nvidia literally has no excuse to ship the 4070 to with at least a 256 bus and 16gb VRAM

RX 7900 series - RTX 4090 series RX 7800 series - RTX 4080 series RX 7700 series - RTX 4070 series RX 7600 series - RTX 4060 series RX 7500 series - RTX 4050 series XTX/XT - Ti xx50 - Ti or step up. AMD did for their last gen, so why not RX 7000? Except, 7900XT has 10 memory chips, versus 8 memory chips. Also, Nvidia has better memory compression than AMD, which starting RX 5000, AMD (the last) to jump into the bandwagon of memory compression. And lastly, even if Nvidia waited for 4GB/32bit module to be readily available, you are still gonna bitch either: 1. Why a card has 8GB with 64 bit bus. 2. Suddenly the price skyrocket with suddenly an example, 4070 Ti with 32GB at 256bit bus. 3. Doesn't understand how bus width even works in the first place Heck, move on, GDDR7 starting module will likely be 4GB/32bit per module, AND not 2GB/32bit per module.

(to be fair, it was only adding some more RAM and a 2TB nvme, but in the past I would have been too worried I'd mess it up and would have had to pay someone else to do it for me).
