Will not fix its 8 GB VRAM, about which many Steam Machine YouTube reviewers complain and righteously so.

But you've said before previously that having large amount of DDR5 memory is enough for the most important ai models that matter? If you can only pick / choose between small vram versus large system ram.

Thought you'd be proud.

Ofcourse, it'd be ideal to have large amounts of vram but not happening at reasonable prices in current market conditions.
