yeah, I've been wanting a card like that to run local models since 2020 when I got a 3080. Back then I'd have spent a bit more to get one with the same performance but some 20GB of VRAM.

Nowadays, if they released an RX 9070 with at least 24GB at a price between the 16GB model and an RTX 5080 (also 16GB); that would be neat.
