@_rogame recently revealed VRAM specs for two upcoming AMD Big Navi GPUs. The
Navi 21 GPU is set to feature 16GB of VRAM, while Navi 22 sports 12GB. These numbers are interesting since both SKUs appear to beat NVIDIA's Ampere
GeForce RTX 3080 in terms of memory capacity.
An earlier leak by Gamer Meld claimed that the flagship Big Navi GPU would be named the RX 6900XT and that this flagship part would beat the
GeForce RTX 3090, at least in certain gaming workloads. This rumor has yet to be confirmed or backed up by benchmarks.
However, the recent VRAM spec leak indicates that, at least on the video memory front, Big Navi GPUs will enjoy a considerable advantage over the GeForce RTX 3080. With 20GB variants of the GeForce RTX 3080 planned, however, this advantage could evaporate before Big Navi cards make it to market.
