    i am going to upgrade my gtx 690 soon i definitely need a minimal vram of 6gb, if they only bring those cards in 4 gb vram i skip those cards and buy a titan black.

    I mean cmon nvidia, u guys know that watchdogs and wolfenstein, use more then 3GB vram on ultra in those games right ?

    I want some headroom, i dont need a card with 4GB vram if it almost all use it.

    Even Ryse uses more then 3.5 gb vram on ultra HD or 8xMSAA.

    U guys agree with me on this ?

    Minimal is 6gb for sure, 8gb would be awesome tho.

    Explain this then, why would nvidia release a non 780 ti with 6 gb, and not the 780 ti with 6 gb vram ?

    Dont buy a black as you will be lucky to get one that does 1300mhz on water. Only a handful do that, the regular Titan is better with water and a voltmod, smashes the black to bits.

    Because it would be cheaper than the titan black and exactly the same performance. That would take away sales from the titan black.

    There is a 780ti with 6gb, its called Titan black and you pay twice as much. "The way it's meant to be played".

    Its underclocked thats all, but what i said before, i need a proper geforce card, not another 3 gb to 4gb rippoff.

    If i want to play in utra HD one of these days, i definitely need one with more then 4GB vram.

    Must be such a bad time for you being an nvidia hater with the new maxwells coming out so soon. Twice as much?

    I just happen to have AMD card, not a hater at all. Just talking with you gurus here.

    I'm actually interested in 970, believe it or not.

    Cmon guys lets be ontopic and be gentle to each other.

    I just wait then i see what this is going to bring us, but my minimal in vram is for sure 6gb.

    And no i am not going the AMD way, The way it's meant to be very hot, and sh1tty drivers.

    Maybe that is changed in the future, but i remember back in those old days, my radeon card [AMD] litterly melted down, the fan stopped working i did not noticed it, until there was smoke coming out the pc and a plastic flavor, i was smelling.

    3GB of Video Memory
    1920x1080 Resolution
    High Textures
    High Detail settings
    2x TXAA / 4x MSAA (May require step-down to Medium Detail settings).

    Then if u have a monitor with 2560x1440, do the mething, then tell me if 3gb vram is still enough ok ?
