I was looking around at some nz stores online, and noticed none of them had any video cards over 8gb for sale (maybe the odd hilariously high priced 4090 that hadn't sold). I know theirs a new series coming out soon, but I can;t recall it ever been this sparse in options. When I watch reviews on youtube about cards, the cards they suggest have been out of stock for years in some cases. 

Are we Russia all of a sudden?

Dynamic:

 

If I understand correctly, some of the newer cards are more efficient and don't actually need as much RAM.

 

 

Nope, they still need the RAM for processing game textures, especially at 4K extreme/ultra setting of some of the latest titles

 

 

 

Id say its because NVIDIA have the release of the 5000 series early next year and they will not be wanting to order "older" stock till they see how the new release pans out in the reviews.
