I sleep like a princess.

I didn't know you were a girl. Let me apologise for all the hard times I put you through. Girls are more sensitive and I was out of line. Please accept my sincere apology. I sleep like a king, btw.

I feel your 3.5 gb vram pain dude, i am so sorry 🙁

No pain here darling, I game at 1440p, no vram problems at all. Fancy a drink?

Lets see what eclap says about this, i think he wil be thinking twice now again before saying something that 3.5 or 4 gb should be enough, same as for some other folk 😉

Over 3 years in use are HD7970 with 3 GB and 6GB versions. Average benefit of 6GB version is improved performance by around 2%. Price difference between 3 and 6GB versions? I guess people can remember those $100+. Give GTX 980 which is about 40-50% stronger than HD7970 4GB vs 8GB. And benefit? Same (close to nothing). That alone is proof that we do not need more vram. Do you know when you will need that huge vram? Voxel based raytracing. You will have entire voxelized level stored as billions of small blocks in vram and card will do all sort of calculations over them as advanced destructive physics and that raytracing. Do you think we have that kind of compute performance in GPU affordable for average gamer? Can such card cost around $300? I am sure that 12~15 billion transistor 16nm chip with 16GB of stacked memory will cost more than current Titan X.

Up to 32gb of Vram. Makes me wonder if Nvidia will make the cards powerful enough to use that much Vram. Heck even 16gb for that matter. To me these cards will be Nvidia's 4k cards because of the new architecture and memory technology. I read the other postings and I am like is this going to be another VRam flame war topic again?

What about this whole thing sounds like sales? It sounds more like Nvidia has other markets then gaming and is designing it's chips to cater to everything. They are doubling performance/watt again which further helps mobile chips. They are doing the on-die ram and FP16/32 on the fly switching for deep learning networks/car auto pilot systems. One of the reasons Nvidia is in the financial position it's in today is because they took their GPU technology and applied it to markets that no one else has. I doubt a 32GB consumer PASCAL card would ever launch, but as 4K becomes more of a thing, and soon after 8K -- 12GB/16GB cards suddenly don't seem far fetched. Especially when texture resolution will need to be increased further to maintain sufficient detail. I don't really get the point of 12GB on the Titan X but by next year, with PASCAL it will probably be pretty nice to have.

Same, never ran into any Vram problems. Like I said some games cache which fills up Vram, but it doesn't really do anything. Someone show me a game coming out this year that actually "uses" and needs more than 4GB of Vram. I haven't seen any. Most games are only just about using 3GB from what I've played at 1440p. Loads still use under that, the only way games will use more is if you use silly amounts of AA, which is pointless when playing at 1440p.

Try Dying Light or Lords Of The Fallen for a example then u know what i mean. Those games can reach my vram limit and thats under full hd.
