So...3GB isn't enough for the future?

[Davanius]

Or is Ubisoft is extracting the Michelangelo?

A day before release he states this. We could have been warned a while back as I like to play my games with aa.

Is this the sign of things to come?

A sign of things to come from lazy devs at Ubisoft? Sure.

People have been asking "Is X video RAM enough for the future" since the dawn of the discrete GPU. Guest what? 4MB wasn't enough "for the future", neither was 128MB.

3GB is plenty for now the real issue is lazy devs not making proper use of stuff like dxtc and static meshes where appropriate.

This is very disappointing news for someone that has just bought a couple of 780Ti's

 

[Jono8]

Ofcourse 3gb wont be enough for the future.

Nothing is future proof, the bane of life.

I am still undecided myself whether to upgrade or not or go xfire or not.

How long is a peice of string..
3GB wont be fine in the future if you wish to max every setting,, mind you nor will 4gb,, all depends where you choose to draw the line

Here we go again, the annual enough vram debate.

 

[arc@css]

Depends how far into the future.

Time to join the red side again with 4gb cards.

^^^lol

In all seriousness games like watch dogs and titanfall do not help the vram debate as they both use a texture cache system to instantly fill the vram. What they actually need is anyone's guess.

 

[RetrogamerX]

3gb will be fine for a few years. I'm sure by then most will upgrade by then.

 

[triss]

If you need 4gb card for 1080p soon as you start going to 1440p+ 4gb wont be enough either,, tbh sounds like lazy coding really
Grab some 8GB 290's while you can matt

If only they came in multiple colours.

VRAM usage has spiked ridiculously really if you think into it.

Am i glad i bought a 4GB card

With the new consoles having a massive 8GB available to them there was talk that games are going to start using more vRam.
