This will be my next graphics card then.
I'm finding 4 GB of VRAM limiting in recent games even though I play at 1920x1200 (sometimes I use DSR to force higher resolutions in less demanding games though), especially with lots of AA (including SSAA). 6 GB of VRAM would be very nice, plus the extra performance will come in handy for games such as Middle-earth: Shadows of Mordor, Watch_Dogs, GTA V and The Witcher 3, none of which can hold a solid 60 FPS with everything maxed. Even a higher minimum framerate would improve my gaming enjoyment. Don't like SLI (or CrossFireX) so a high-end single GPU card is a must for me for high-quality gaming. I can recover some of the cost of the new card by selling my GTX 980.
Sure, I don't really it need it but the extra overhead for demanding games will be very welcome I think. I expect the card will be £500-£550 here in the UK though going by the US price of $700.

Strange, we have the same card, and I game in surround, have not seen the 4GB vRAM limit my gaming at all
Maxing AA is more GPU power limited than vRAM iMO

I love the escalation from reasonable statement to outright lunacy, speaking of which, they're probably storing the cure to cancer where they store the old equipment they used to fake the moon landing, under a giant statue of our beneficent overlord, lemsip max.

is it?

You are putting ideas in my head now. Hmmmm I might do the same.

only 970 is affected , not 980....
So 980 Ti will have 6 Gb (full speed)

Been waiting for this since the TX GM200 is a beast. One will be about 40% faster than my 670's overclocked. Two will be orgasmic. I should be good fo another 3+ years.

Hes using an AMD card, so that explains his trolling.

Assuming that the stats are true, I'm surprised Nvidia would release a card that performs the same as, if not better than the Titan X for cheaper. 6GB is certainly not going to be a hindrance - even with 8xMSAA at UltraHD the only game I know of that would hit that limit is Lords of the Fallen.

I always buy 2 of the best cards available at the time. That has done me right for years. Costs more initially but lasts me 2 years everytime.

They pretty much did with Titan and Titan Black.

If I could afford that, I think I'd probably go down that route too, it's only been the last 3 cards that's I've managed to go fairly high end
Saying that, I was put off going multiGPU after trying CF a good few times over the years - never tried SLI yet

You would like sli, been using it since the voodoo days. Pretty much pain free for the most part.

Same as my brother says, CF put me off big time, I don't mind hunting down SLI bits, but my last CF experience with the 295X2 was far from good, I was basically left with a 290X in 70-80% of games

SLi is pain-free and yields good results if you do it correctly from the beginning. Crossfire might not have the most flawless experience but it is generally much more forgiving about mixing and matching. To me, the appeal of multi-GPU setups is giving your rig an extra year or two of life before having to replace everything. There are very few cases where anyone needs 2 high-end GPUs when they were first released. That being said, I think crossfire is a more practical choice, because you can just buy a 2nd or 3rd GPU a few years apart. But, if for example you're trying to go all-out with a 120Hz 4k screen or 2, SLi is a better choice.
I can't speak on behalf of the 295X2, but back when I had 2 HD5750s, it wasn't that hard to force crossfire on unsupported games. Any glitches were easy to fix with some tweaking.
---TK---
I doubt you would go back to crossfire if you tried sli.

I`ll never go back to CF even without trying SLI
I went CF with 2 x 5770s, big fail
I went CF with 2 x 6850s, still big fail
I went CF with 295X2, years later, still the exact same fail
Never bothering with it again, it just doesn't work in anything other than benchmarks really - there are a couple of games where it works, but for a gamer, it's not a viable solution to improve frames (Unless all you do is bench all day)
In fact, since moving to Nvidia, I`ll never go back to AMD, the difference is like day and night optimisation wise
nVidia have devs on the payroll - not fair for AMD, and if I'm honest, I much prefer AMD as a company, they care about their customers, but because of that, nVidia come out top almost every time

So Titan X users, dont you feel silly? Nvidia pulled this exact same thing not long ago, one should think you'll learned something. 😀

Never?
Never say never.

True true, things can always change, but in the last decade or so, nothing has
