They don't want to cannibalize sales of the super-expensive GPUs dedicated to ML/AI.

5090 likely won't have more than 32 GB, if even that much.

I made a Manifold market[0] on the amount of ram a 5090 will have, and while pretty much nobody has participated, I just checked and the market is amusingly at the 32GB you've also quoted. Just like you, I hope it will be more but I fear it will be even less.

Even 32GB would be great for a gaming card, any more and you're never seeing on sale as it will be bought by truckloads for AI, so of course they're not gonna balloon the VRAM. I suspect we'd still be at 16GB but they launched 3090 on Sep 2020 with 24GB, before all this craze really, and lowering is bad optics now.

Meanwhile Apple will sell you a chip with 96GB of unified memory for the price of two 4090s ... and that is with the Apple tax ... it's ridiculous. I know the memory bandwith of M2 Max is like 1/2 of a 4090, but still, the artificial kneecapping Nvidia does is absurd.
