Nvidia reportedly no longer supplying VRAM to its GPU board partners in response to memory crunch — rumor claims vendors will only get the die, forced to source memory on their own (www.tomshardware.com)

In China street markets you can get a 48gb 4090.

I'm not sure if equipment to make older ram types still exist, or if it's possible to use ddr3 chips on ddr5 interface/voltage, or gddr5, but this is getting too stupid.

HBM prices are also rising fast, and next gen datacenter AI cards are likely to be worse value (flops/bandwidht/ram) than older ones. But still ddr5 would be more profitable to make than HBM at half the current price. So everything is stupid extortion, and should come back to some parity between the 2.
