VRAM revolution.
All hail lord VRAM.
Hooray! :(
Displaying the card and VRAM in the corner is awesome and should be industry standard.

PS4 it is.
People should prepare themselves for this type of stuff moving forward. Especially as devs get unshackled from the hell that is 360/ps3 2006 specs.
lol man the specs for these PC ports are just ridiculous these days! My old GTX 590 weeps! :/

Is this because of PS4 and XB1's 5 to 8 gigs RAM why these PC requirements are so high now??????
Generally you author textures to be max quality for the console platforms when seen up close, so if you want to load all those in at once on PC, you need shit tons of VRAM.
Unfortunately, we won't really be able to prepare for that kind of VRAM usage until late next year's cards at the earliest.And just like that 970/980 hype thread deflated lol

I thought 4GB+ requirements are only needed for ultra textures at 1440P and up?
Will have to wait for the actual benchmarks.
Not true. I have 3 cards with that amount of VRAM in my machine now :pUnfortunately, we won't really be able to prepare for that kind of VRAM usage until late next year's cards at the earliest.
But if you mean prices coming down to mainstream levels for cards with 4GB+ VRAMthen you're probably right.
In this case, Ultra textures are beyond what the consoles are running. Realistically, the consoles aren't getting more than 6GB of memory for games, probably more like 5.5. This is for all data, not just textures. A 6GB video card is therefore way, way more than what you have access to for video memory duties on console.Originally Posted by On Demand

Sweet sassy molassy that is a lot of video needed.
We will see, but I still doubt it, at the very least I don't see it being enough of a difference to warrant the vram and whatever performance issues come with it.Originally Posted by Corpekata
According to the menu Ultra requires an additional optional Ultra HD texture pack installed, so it should probably be a substantial upgrade.
