XX90 is only half a gaming card it's also the one the entire creative professional 3D CGI, AI, game dev industry runs on.

The only reason gaming doesn't use all the VRAM is because typically GPUs don't have all the VRAM. If they did then games would somehow find a way to use it.

Game engines are optimized for lowest common denominator, being in this case consoles. PC games are rarely exclusivities, so same engine has to make it running with least ram available and differences between versions are normally small.

One normally uses some ultra texture pack to utilize current gen card's memory fully on many games.

Consoles would have more VRAM too if these cards had more VRAM. It's not like they're made separately in isolation.

Not really, the more textures you can put into memory the faster they can do their thing.

PC gamers would say that a modern mid-range card (1440p card) should really have 16GB of vram. So a 5060 or even a 5070 with less than that amount is kind of silly.

hmmm, maybe they can had different offerings like 16GB, 32GB, 64GB, etc. Maybe we can even have 4 wheels on a car.
