Here's a few things a lot of people in this thread are failing to realize:I'm rolling with a 770 2G, but have been considering going for the 970. Not just for this, but also for Witcher later down the road. Is this a good idea, or should I just stick it out and wait a while?
- increase in requirements for VRAM in upcoming games will not be "to match console version", but to go beyond that. If matching textures on a PS4/XB1 is your standard of doing fine your 2GB card will last you a while.
- "maxing out" a game is not mandatory and texture resolution is not necessarily the most meaningful metric for visual quality (i.e. if vanilla textures are good enough you would probably care more for 120 fps than "ultra" textures).
- they keep saying "i told you so, you needed it from the beginning" and they don't even realize that facts are proving them wrong.
"You will totally need that 4GB card now or you will regret it". Guess what? I bought a 2GB GPU *deliberately* knowing it was just a stepping stone I would have upgraded it at some point quite early (once again, because I want to, not because I need to) and by the time I will actually need and buy a 4GB GPU (I was considering a GTX 970 for February or later) I will pay both my purchases LESS than I would have paid the 4GB GPU back then.
