@NOTimothyLottes I mean, on the Nvidia side you can clearly see the improvement this gen in Gb/s/$, and you're not even adjusting with inflation which is quite unfair.

Lets be frank, the best in the table is AMD in 2017 with the 570 at 1.318 Gb/s/$ where AMD was aggressively digging into margins to get market share. NVIDIA shows the higher margin options. But that’s not really ‘scaling’, rather it’s flat mixed with card pricing volatility.

Yes, with 2017’s money. With 2025’s money, that RX 570 is roughly 1 GB/s/$(170-->224$) vs 1.22 from the 5070.

Also the amount of GB is rather dictated by consoles IMO. If games are made with 16GB max in mind (and that’s whole system memory, realistically it’s 10-12) doesn’t really make much sense to have much higher quantities of VRAM. Talking about consumer products at least.
