I honestly don't know how well a 24gb 5090 will move, no matter how fast it is. I feel like the gamers will go for stuff like 4080 super, 4070 ti super, next gen AMD. For productivity users, there's 3090, 4090, A6000.
Maybe I'm wrong and the card doesn't need to be very good to sell because GPUs are so burning hot right now.
GDDR7 memory chips will be in production with either 2 or 3 GB sizes, which means 36GB of VRAM on 384-bit bus could be a possibility for next gen.
I could see Nvidia releasing both 24GB and 36GB cards at the top, but charging a large premium for the extra VRAM similar to how Apple does for extra RAM above base.
The BOM difference on 24GB to 30GB, even for new product like GDDR7 should be less than $50 easy, but I can see Nvidia adding $300+ for the 36GB model for the extra profit.
