Each generation, the manufacturers create a series of cards, with set vRAM and SIMD Cores. The market is split into three categories: server, professional, and consumer. Consumer cards are cheapest and are primarily targeted for the video game market. Professional cards have better driver support for 3d programs like autocadAutocad. Finally, server cards provide virtualization services, allowing cloud companies to virtually split their cards between customers.
While server and professional cards have more vRAM, consumer cards are more than adequate starting points for GPU Programmers.
