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.
It's practically guaranteed, there is no other realistic configuration.
I also expect the 32GB 5090 to launch at $2000-2500 MSRP and the 24GB 5080 at $1500+ because AMD is skipping a generation and the 5070Ti will likely match AMD's offering at $999. The 7900XTX or a refresh of it will remain their top card until RDNA5.
Next gen Nvidia prices are going to be absolutely bonkers, worse than now. And people will buy them anyway.. Especially because many have skipped the 4000 series hoping things would improve. With RDNA5 and more production capacity from new fabs prices will likely improve but that's at least 3 years in the future.
