Is 8gb of vram bad now? I'm making do with 2gb on a 1050 mobile and can pay more than enough games on Steam at 1080p60. The self-proclaimed "gamers" just need to stop complaining so much.

Good, then in 5 years, you can buy the 4060Ti and use it for the next 10.

It is when you can pick up used RTX 3060 with 12 GB for 200$, which is what I did.
Hmmm, from the attention this card's received by the media, we can assume that the 4070 mobile was not as unpopular as its desktop base...which is unfortunate, making a 12-16GB 4070 mobile much less likely.
8GBs is simply not big enough to run 16B+ parameter LLMs. We need bigger VRAM for self-hosted AI.

We need bigger VRAM for a lot of things. Unfortunately, there only seem to be VRAM modifications for desktop cards, not laptop cards.
Somewhere, in a dark corner of a lab at nvidia, there is a card just like the 4060Ti, with exactly the same specs but with a cover plate that says 4050.
