New games early in development right now who are looking to future-proof for the pc market are currently seeing about 50% 1GB vram and 15% of 2GB. Devs aiming for anything over 2GB of video ram for the next 3 to 5 years is statistically a money sink, especially since going any higher than that means you probably won't be able to use that much video data on the new consoles. You could, but you need to share that total ~5GB with system ram too, and dedicating more than 2 for video leaves very little system ram to work with. So anyway, over 2GB is icing for the next couple years. Keep this hot tip in mind.

WORST FORUMS GUY posted:so what card would you recommend to go forward and play these games on max settings gently caress if I know. All I know is that you're probably ok for max settings for texture and mesh quality for several years if your card has 2 GB unless you're looking to futureproof yourself for over 3-5 years with your videocard. This doesn't take performance into account.

Disregard everything I said about 2 GB of vram being enough for the next 3 to 5 years: go ahead and get more if you want. Evil Within is recommending 4 GB, which is absolutely stupid and insane and such a tiny amount of the market that'll be even able to use it for the next several years. They're throwing their money away, but I guess that means 4 GB wouldn't be totally wasted. I'm sure there's a couple of other games that'll also be crazy by then.
