Very surprised at the stats...63% of peeps want 8GB or more

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

Personally I see 8 as a good amount for the ‘non-titan enthusiast’, a single £500 – 600 card should have enough grunt to at least make use of 8gb by itself and in sli/crossfire enough vram to cope with the higher resolutions the extra processing power should let you reach.
Which is exactly the sort of card I am looking for and sort of what I wanted the 980 to be from the start.

I was tempted to jump on a couple of 980s but the 4GB was a non starter for me and grabbed another Titan in place of. Very fast cards but I would feel slightly limited on resolution choices.
Picked more than 8gb, as the question was how much would you want. How much would i need is different, no more than 3gb. Played various games on my old 780 at 1440p 144hz and played everything fine.
edit to add.... VRAM is a non starter/issue. I would buy any card faster than my current even if it had less vram.

Also shows how skewed the forum is towards the ultra-high-end gfx cards.

4gb i suppose for me, closest card i had was gt630 4gb, but just about made half that was of any use, so id quite like to have a full 4gb leeway

I won't be going 4k, The closest will be 3440 x 1440 but it's more likely I'll be going with either 2560 x 1080 or 2560 x 1440 this year so I'd like at least 6 gb's.
