I was in the market for a new GPU and I debated between a 4090 and a 4070. 4070 is fine for the type of work and gaming I do, but I was thinking about the additional RAM. Then I realized that the 4070 has more vram than most consumers do, so many models will be optimized for that, and at some point someone will come out with a high-ram neural network only card at some point, and that would end up being better than the 4090 anyway because 24 gigs of vram is still quite small. I don’t know a ton about this stuff so who knows if that was the right decision… but I’m thinking along the same lines as you.
