Rumored 50-series Super refresh bumps everything +50% VRAM

leaked Super specs have the 5070 Ti and 5080 going 16GB to 24GB and the 5070 to 18GB, thanks to the new 3GB GDDR7 modules.

24GB on a Ti-class card is actually the number people here have been waiting for. thats enough to run a lot of mid-size models locally at a decent quant without dropping to a used 3090 or paying 90-class prices just for the memory. most local-friendly the consumer lineup has looked in a while.

"cost-effective" though, sure. in this memory market that 24GB card lands at whatever number Nvidia feels like inventing that morning. cautiously interested, aka waiting to see how badly the price ruins it before i get my hopes up for a cheap local llm box

so what are everyone's thoughts on this rumor?
