I wondered about them too, For me I had stuttering that resulted in minus minimums and many on screen textures missing, One run through had the whole floor texture missing and it's not much better in game, Or at least it wan't when I did my playthrough (2nd patch included). Some maps where unplayable even though the fps was good the stutter was constant. With high texture settings it was smooth as ice.

I suspect the problem with the Fiji cards is more to do with the game devs rather than the fact that they have 4gb of memory.

I will find out how my 4gb 980s go on the bench in a minute.
 
I would like to see the reverse to the current trend.

We need to start seeing GPU's coming out with less and less VRAM as we need to start seeing advancements and optimization in software rather than making up for it by throwing more hardware at the problem.

:p
 
Just tried my GTX 980 on ROTTR bench.

@1080p DX11 it managed just.

@1080p DX12 it struggled a bit.

@1440p Not good at all.

@2160p It ran but so slowly that I got bored and ended the bench early.:eek:
 
Honestly, I'd be happy with 4GB for 1080p, but I want the next GPU to be for 1440p and higher resolutions inevitably need more VRAM. So I chose 8GB to be on the safe side (better to have too much than too little). Any more is overkill IMO.
 
as a 4k user I wouldn't look at any card below 8GB. And given that 4k needs dual GPU for the most part, and I usually upgrade every 2-3 years, my next purchase(s) will probably want to be 12-16GB
 
Most seem to be shouting for 8GB/12GB...

What's the betting these are some of the same folk who called the Titan X's 12GB complete overkill when they first came out??? :D

Since I'm at 1080p I don't need massive amounts of ram so would happily buy a 4GB card again without worry if I was keeping it for a couple of years, but ideally 6GB to 8GB would be ideal.

The Titans are underpowered for a 12gb card. Presumably people are looking at their next cards being on a new node, with sufficient power at 4K to need 8 or 12gb.

No lack of power here, check out the ROTTR bench thread. I managed better than 60fps maxed @2160p.

The mid range Pascal/Polaris cards will be the ones found lacking as they will likely be limited to 8gb from day one.
