Hope AMD pull something awesome off with Vega, my 290 no longer is good enough for recommended spec, although TBH a 290 isn't too far off a 290X with a bit of an OC.
Yup, it came as a separate update for "ultra" textures. I remember 4GB cards had no problems so 6GB was a trolling indeed.
It recommended it on their highest texture setting. Which was really weird since a 970 ran the game on 62fps min and around 80fps average on ultra. Also pretty sure they cached like 1gb worth of cutscenes into the vram.
