Why actually build the 36 GB one though? What gaming application will be able to take advantage of more than 24 for the lifetime of 5090? 5090 will be irrelevant by the time the next gen of consoles releases, and the current one has 16 GB for VRAM and system RAM combined. 24 is basically perfect for top end gaming card.
And 36 will be even more self-canibalizing for professional cards market.
So it’s unnecessary, expensive, and canibalizing. Not happening.
