Remember when NVIDIA tried to call the RTX 4070 Ti the RTX 4080 12 GB, but because of backlash they had to backtrack it.

[SirJohnsonP]

Oh look they pulled out an Nvidia classic

[shgun]

3:37 Never forget the 4070 TI was originally the 4080 12 GB, despite having not only memory differences but a smaller core. The 40 series being scam free was only scam free because consumers made Nvidia take down the scam before release.

[cuteAvancer]

The most valuable company in the world can't afford slightly faster ram on a 600 dollar card 💀💀💀

[Darkswordz]

Don't forget the whole GTX 970 3.5GB class action lawsuit fiasco.

[KiltedCritic]

No matter how Nvidia nerfs a product, it never nerfs their profits.

[jrherita]

2-4% is a big deal - it’s almost the same uplift that Zen 5 gave!

[Jojo_Tolentino]

Can’t wait for Nvidia to release 5070 with 128-bit bus

THE RTX 4000 series started with the 12GB "RTX4080". Kinda poetic how Nvidia always screw you over with VRAM at the beginning and the end of this generation of graphics cards.

[ShashwatVed]

Standing Steve can only mean one thing 💀

[Tom_Quixote]

The more they scam, the more they save

[johngalactus]

Nvidia: _"Same... but different. But still same."_

[rollerr]

12GB of vram at 600-800 dollars was always a borderline scam. This move is par for the course with nvidia.

[Sam-fpcd]

0:06 - "It's a long STANDING tradition". Steve is standing. Oh no...

[ZaricheYruga]

NVIDIA is like Ubisoft full of crap these days

[TheZoenGaming]

No scams in the 40 series until now? How quickly Steve has forgotten the 4080 12GB.

[TheQxY]

Reminds me of when I bought my first GTX 970 4GB GPU, only to find out later it only came with 3.5GB of VRAM 😢

[takh]

Nvidia disrespect their customers over and over again but people still very desperate for Nvidia cards.

[torvasdh]

AMD leaves the high end and Nvidia nerfs a card without a price reduction.
The 5090 price is cooked.

Intel: Shooting themselves in the foot with processor recalls
AMD: Shooting themselves in the foot with Ryzen 9000 marketing lies
Nvidia: "Can we shoot ourselves in the foot a little too, as a treat?"
