I wonder how useful that would be for RT?!

I have no idea when we could test this, but once we can we will know for sure .

From the article...."Interested developers will need to have saved up their pennies though: a dev kit will set you back $9,999."

Am i reading this wrong, or could this eradicate the traditional barrier of 8-16-24GB VRAM? Or this just helps when the VRAM becomes full and info must be passed somewhere else, via a much faster and direct lane?

It appears just to advertise the attached SSDs as NVMe storage - thus they appear as normal SSDs . A custom API would then be used to stage data on the drive. Accessing stored data would still go via the NVMe controller and CPU.
