I upgraded to this device in anticipation of the 2G plans. https://www.nicgiga.com/collections/2-5g-switch/products/24-port-2-5g-%E2%9E%95-2-port-10g-sfp-ethernet-switch-nicgiga-26-port-2-5gb-network-switch-unmanaged-plug-play-desktop-or-19-inch-rack-mount-fanless-metal-design - it handles rate adaptation between 10G, 1G and 2.5G clients fairly well. If you're on NBN, you'll need a new NTD as the current ones are only 1G.

2025-07-18 11:44:36 +0000 UTCmy snarky thought to the title is "they did, the 8GB cards made after 2022." Yet TBH that segment isn't looking for more-FPS and other factors make modern GPUs a bit of a hard pass (low profile slots, no-fan/no-pump silent builds, or watt-limited environments). Because there are other better options, I guess the current generation of 8GB cards are mostly e-waste bound with no good use.
