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.

thanks, using this logic im going to server farm 80 980s to be protected for future. i recommend u do the same bbg
