I am deciding upon a GPU upgrade and if I should get a newer card with more VRAM (as I game at 1440p) or just go SLI.
Everyone is generally saying that I should get a newer card as it has more VRAM - 3gb / 4gb so will play much better but does anyone have any proof that more VRAM = more FPS at a higher resolution?
I found this article where a GTX 760 4GB was tested against a 2GB version

I would be interested if anyone else games at 1440p / 1600p where they can show more VRAM = more FPS
Is it possible to VRAM limit a graphics card on say a 780Ti down from 3gb to 2gb? Then bench and see results

We played through a couple maps on BF4 and we were able to get the memory usage up to 2997MB, so having 4GB of memory might help here and there. The bad news is that by the time you need more than 2GB of frame buffer the GPU doesn’t have the power needed to game at that resolution.
