Heh that's cool.
I tended to keep that trend with CPU cores and RAM sizes too, but it hasn't always worked.
Funny thing is, it was never intentional in my case. It was always a matter of timing, budget and more recently, size. If for example, the RTX 3070 and the RX 6800 had swapped RAM sizes and nothing else was changed, I would still have bought the 3070, because the RX 6800 is well beyond my budget, and I'm iffy about its triple-fan setup fitting in my mini-ITX case.
So yeah, that's why I kept that list; the entirety of it was pure accident.

@madrocketeer: nice. I think my first graphics accelerator must have been our S3 Virge - I believe it was the beastly 4mb Vram model 😅 i remember my 16mb riva tnt2 just mopping the floor with it when we eventually upgraded
Well before my time. Pretty sure I was rocking software renderers at the time.
I'm getting that same feeling right now, in fact. I tried throwing maxed out Forza Horizon 4 at my 3070, and it just devoured it without breaking a sweat. HWMonitor showed it was using a mere fraction of its power. Felt almost embarrassed I tried to test it with that game.
Tuesday. That's the day I give it something to really chew on.
