Poll: How much VRAM would you want on your next GPU purchase

[VincentHanna]

8GB will be plenty.

 

[Dave2150]

6-8

 

[jkb]

I won't be buying anything with less than 8GB

 

[Combat Fighter]

3.5GB

 

[UTmaniac]

32GB.

But I might not need it, or be able to sell my duplicate body parts for a high enough price.

 

[OverFienD24]

What ever the second hand market throws out..Here's looking at you Greg hurry up with them 12gb titans,and get onto the next big thing

 

[eddyr]

4GB no more no less. It will do for the next few years at 1080p, so don't want to pay an unnecessary vram tax.

 

[psychas]

well mine 980 should arrive next week so 4 is enough for 1080 maybe 6 or 8 gig next year

 

[ALXAndy]

At least 6gb.

 

[Neil79]

6-8

i think something has to change like memory stacking or something else
some more 5k monitors coming this year, + 8k tv's

if 8gb is needed for 4k, whats needed for 5k & 8k displays?

Too early to worry about that. There isn't a GPU system on earth capable of running games at that res any way.

 

[fantasticCG]

8GB+

some of the lame games i play i should think would run ok
but yeh maybe not things like dying light
those screens are coming, they expect no one to be able to game on them?

 

[africanos23]

6GB while consoles can't use more due to unified usage and some sloppy ports coming out might deem a need for slightly more.

Running 4K ATM , I need a little more horsepower imo and a tad bit more VRAM on some games so a safe bet would be 8Gb.

 

[nalla]

6 gig would be nice, but to be honest the 3 gig that i currently have is holding up quite well, even at 4k on the games that i play i have not yet got close to maxing out my vram,

You're out of your mind about 8k screens.

What would be the point? No movies/video/tv to watch at 8k for most likely 10 years.

GPU advancement's have been so slow that it will probably be 10 years for GPU's to be avilable to run 8k at 60-144fps.

lol why am i out of my mind? ><

 

[Gregster]

Thanks for adding the poll DJ

Have you ran 4k yet? or, more specifically, ran it on £1400 worth of video cards only to get 38 FPS as your min and hovering around 60 as your average?

LOL, you need a lot of power for it, so dreaming of 8k is, well, dreaming.

Come back down to earth man
