I came across the rumoured specs for next years cards, and needless to say, I was less than impressed. It seems that next year’s version of my card (4060ti 16gb), will have HALF the Vram of my current card… I certainly don’t plan to spend money to downgrade.

But, for me, this was a major letdown; because I was getting excited at the prospects of buying next year’s affordable card in order to boost my Vram, as well as my speeds (due to improvements in architecture and PCIe 5.0). But as for 5.0, Apparently, they’re also limiting PCIe to half lanes, on any card below the 5070… I’ve even heard that they plan to increase prices on these cards…

This is one of the sites for info,

Though, oddly enough they took down a lot of the info from the 5060 since after I made a post about it. The 5070 is still showing as 12gb though. Conveniently enough, the only card that went up in Vram was the most expensive ‘consumer’ card, that prices in at over 2-3k.

I don’t care how fast the architecture is, if you reduce the Vram that much, it’s gonna be useless in training AI models… I’m having enough of a struggle trying to get my 16gb 4060ti to train an SDXL LORA without throwing memory errors.

Disclaimer to mods: I get that this isn’t specifically about ‘image generation’. Local AI training is close to the same process, with a bit more complexity, but just with no pretty pictures to show for it (at least not yet, since I can’t get past these memory errors…). Though, without the model training, image generation wouldn’t happen, so I’d hope the discussion is close enough.
