Im sorta out of the loop on these things, but isn't 3GB kinda small vram capacity these days? Don't they have like 15+? Also, 15+GB VRAM on one of these would be like a billion dollars by now, wouldn't it?
This is the dumbest bubble ever.
One single module, aka one chip on the graphics card. A graphic card can have multiple chips/modules. Like 5x3gb modules making the total of 15gb of VRAM.
Usually the black chips placed just around the actual GPU chip.
Ah, yes thank you. I didn't read the article, just the title, in true dummy fashion. I just interpreted it as "module" meaning the card as a "unit"
Dumb moment.
