That 16GB 580 sounds cool for memory-constrained scenarios, but it'd obviously make more sense to get a more powerful card entirely.

Yep, Dawid already made a video comparing an original RX580 8gb vs the circumcised RX580 with 16gb. Out of all the games he tested there's only 1 that utilizes that 16gb memory but it's below 10fps! lmao.

Maybe it makes some sense in the AI arena. But I tend to agree that going with a better GPU is the way to go.

As for using RTX 3080,.... for AI. I think Chinese have issues with sanctions.
