That poor thing is going to be bandwidth starved. Putting GDDR6X on it should have been a no-brainer, but Nvidia deemed it more prudent to put those onto the 3060 Ti instead. Go figure.
Why would it be discontinued? There is nothing faster besides HBM and G7 development is rumor territory so far.6X is prolly on its last legs before its discontinued.
Because GDDR6 it was supposed to replace reached same speeds and does it cheaper?Why would it be discontinued? There is nothing faster besides HBM and G7 development is rumor territory so far.
Did it reach the same speed? What makes you think that it's cheaper (especially at the same speed)?Because GDDR6 it was supposed to replace reached same speeds and does it cheaper?
So as I've said, rumor territory. Also nothing on the market support it right now.Regardless, Samsung just last month highlighted their work on 36 Gbps GDDR7 (4 Gbps higher than year before), no release timeline yet though
Both are at 24 Gbps. PAM4 (GDDR6X) is more expensive than NRZ (GDDR6) all around.Did it reach the same speed? What makes you think that it's cheaper (especially at the same speed)?
20 vs 24 is not "at 24 Gbps".Both are at 24 Gbps.
It's the same when the implementation was done years ago.PAM4 (GDDR6X) is more expensive than NRZ (GDDR6) all around.
Both 20 Gbps and 24 Gbps GDDR6 are in production and officially in 'sampling' phase to customers.20 vs 24 is not "at 24 Gbps".
It's the same when the implementation was done years ago.
24 Gbps G6X is shipping on 4080s.24 Gbps GDDR6X is just as much "MIA" as 24 Gbps GDDR6 as in neither has been implemented in any products so far.
They're not running at 24 Gbps though.24 Gbps G6X is shipping on 4080s.
It doesn't but at the same time it overclocks even above that just fine even on a 4090: https://www.techpowerup.com/review/nvidia-geforce-rtx-4090-founders-edition/41.htmlThey're not running at 24 Gbps though.
Then there's also no need for 24GB/s G6 or 36GB/s G7If NVidia has no need for 24GB/s then there's no need for GDDR6X.
