The reality is even more enraging....

The recent Intel-Nvidia cooperation talked about the new "NVLink interconnect", which allows GPU direct access to System-RAM, so there would never ever be a VRAM limit anymore. Great, right? But then you read that technology exists since 10 years, and already industrially proven since 2016 - just not for the common people.

So they've been fooling us all the years. Every 2 years they gave us minimal increments of VRAM, while they could have moved away from it long ago. What an a§§move. I think they're all in this scam: Intel, Nvidia, AMD, and all computer and notebook manufacturers. They must have known. But of course making GPUs with artificially limited VRAM was the best cashcow ever.

Feels like Ngreedia paid you to convince people that 8gigs is enough for a laptop costing $1500 which is only going to get worse going into 2026

Unlike the Ti version with 12 GB, Nvidia's RTX 5070 (non-Ti) only comes with 8 GB of VRAM — a spec that's sparked plenty of online debate about its future-proofing, and understandably, some concern. Our test unit, the Lenovo Legion Pro 5 16IAX10 with an RTX 5070, offers some useful insight into how much VRAM might actually be "enough."
