3070(ti) 16Gb would make more sense. Same with 4070ies.

For gaming, that is of course.

Even with 12GB of VRAM would 3070/ti be so much better! And 3080 with 16-20GBs as well would be a much more viable card today.

Nvidia did sell these as quadros, and this was benchmarked by HUB. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=alguJBl-R3I

People also modded them with 16GB. Well, it'd be nice if there was a market for this, because people would still buy them.
