with H21 point cloud partitioning in openCL does RAM on the card still matter?

I'm contemplating up grating my 3090 to 5080 but it will go from 24GB to 16GB. Wonder if it will impact simulations or rendering?

Do we know what it actually does? It was briefly mentioned in the rolling list of features, but unless someone from the staff is willing to explain then nobody really knows until the full release.

You don't want to be downgrading the amount of ram you have.
Taking advantage of different acceleration is meaningless if the data can fit in ram.
It really feels like 24gb is the main baseline for GPU compute in Houdini, anything less
tends to limit the amount of complexity to an annoying degree.

Why ask the same question two times though?!
