nvidia gtx 780 memory size

Does anyone think that the 780 will get a memory boost? Or does that take away from the market for the titan?

I'm in the market for a new card for gpu rendering (redshift3d.com) and it runs on cuda cores, so has to be nvidia. The bigger the onboard memory the better really, was just hoping that a cheaper alternative to the titan might be a 780 with added vram.

I have not read of any plans to release a 780 with 6GB (or any more memory) but if you are in no rush, time will tell.

Isn't 6GB just a teeny bit excessive, even for extreme gaming setups?

You can never have too much VRAM when 3D rendering from my reading up on it.

Probably in a few months when prices go down so that the 6GB models don't look too expensive than if they were released now?

I don't think we will see a GTX 780 with 6gbs of vram, if you take into account the extra it would cost you may as well buy a Titan and be done with it.

Thanks for the insights. I'm swinging towards the titan, particularly as I read elsewhere that the titan isn't as gimped running DCC viewports as the 780/lesser models. Like you say once you add extra memory costs, it will get close to titan prices anyway.

Redshift does do out of core rendering (ie it will swap with system memory) but the more stuff that can be kept on card the faster it will be, particularly with large textures - 8k etc.

If anyone's getting bored of their quad-sli titan setups and has a couple going cheap I'd be happy to take them off your hands
