Boildown 615 Posted January 14, 2015 And people need 8GB VRAM for what?Skyrim of course.But seriously... probably won't really need it until the next generation of video cards are already out. That said once they're available, if the price isn't that much more, you may as well get the 8GB version, especially if you typically skip many generations between upgrades. If you upgrade frequently, you can easily pass on this. Go to top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GeraldEvans 10,481 Posted February 6, 2015 So does the 8Gb stat mean these are actually 7Gb cards? 2 Gremlich and Ostia reacted to this Go to top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Timziito 279 Posted February 7, 2015 Dont you mean 7.5 gb ram? 1 Gremlich reacted to this Go to top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GeraldEvans 10,481 Posted February 7, 2015 Nope, twice the 3.5 of the current cards. You're being silly hoping for another half gig. Go to top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nevermore 1,478 Posted February 7, 2015 yea lately nvidia seems to be "misleading" they took a hit with the 970 ram issue and the gsync somewhat working without the chip they have some good cards tho... but still I don't see the point tho ... it won't be able to run anything good a 4k anyway and forget about 3x4k XD Go to top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Darkpriest667 24 Posted February 8, 2015 In case you all are unaware. those RAM increases aren't going to amount to much considering the memory bandwidth on the maxwell cards is not large enough to support 6 and 8 GB. I have a 980SC and 4GB is very close to pushing the limits of it's memory bandwidth. 2 GeraldEvans and Zero Null Cero reacted to this Go to top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
