After a several years of not really needing to upgrade, it looks like that sort of time again. My old card is a GTX570; I haven't even decided on AMD/nVidia question yet, let alone which model.
My worry is about the fairly recent trends in increased graphics memory usage (a la Watchdogs). I'm assuming this is partly a consequence of the latest generation of console releases. What do people think is a reasonable amount to graphics memory to get to future proof me for the next 2 or 3 years? 3GB? 4GB?
I'm not planning to go the 4K route, but I'd like to play 1920x1200 as shinily as possible.
If it's 4GB then it looks like a 4GB 290, 4GB 770, or 6GB 780 is the only option. Unless I'm missing something.
TIA for your thoughts.
