This is the future you chose.

You deserve it
>>55679998
under 3.5gb of usage it's all good
but as the new Mirror's edge, butt fucks the 970 as it's not even playable with the Vram limiter turned off.
>>55680049
is the new mirror's edge a meme game?
no one i've talked to acually bought it.
>>55680065
Everyone should have seen needing more than 3GB in the next 3/4 years being entirely necessary. What's sad is even the r9 270x had an option for 4G, but the highest end of Kepler only came with 3.
>>55680135
seems like Nvidia is always a few Gb behind.
perhaps it's done on purpose to cut the lifespan of GPUs.

I'm just waiting for Gameworks to start forcing full parallel async when Volta comes out.
>>55680210
>forcing full parallel async
so what does that mean for the 900 or 1000 series?
>>55680008
PEPE NO

dude, no
it would take 3 generations of GPUs to catch up with a low tier card.
>>55680514
Really?
Pretty sure you can pick up a used 980 for less than what the 1060 is selling for right now.
>>55680616
the 980ti was the top end card.
i doubt a 1160 will be faster than a 980ti
also, the 980 cant run dx 12 so there's that
What kind of cuck thing 3GB is enough with current AO and resolution agnostic features. Are you some kind of retard.
Upgraded from a 2GB gfx card to an 8GB. Feels safe man.
Nvidia has always been on the cheep side when it comes to vram compared to AMD.
>>55679972
950 2gb here. guess i can't expect to run anything higher than low anymore.
That's deep
nvidia always has shittier hardware than amd
>muh drivers
irrelevant with dx12
anyone buying nvidia is up for some cucking
>>55679972
Shits dumb. So many games have trash textures and want to use so much VRAM.
>8gb vram is overkill 3.5 is enough
>I am an millennial trash shitbag who will never get a decent paying job so I shitpost with the quality of my expectations in real life.
And i was totally contra. Told all people that 8 gb vram will be minimum or norm the moment ps4 n xbone were released. I was ridiculed and shuned by. Even here.
Is it so hard to remember last ciclus , we will get only console ports that are not optimised, there are no exclusives for pc(outside indies and Polish studios who are able to mask indie game to look like AAA).
Devs are lazy and they dont like freedums given by PC, PC will never be primary release pltform.
lol mirrors edge is a shit fucking boring ass game
>>55679972
shit engine I say
get a new car, anon
>>55679972
Nvidia isn't future proof. You just keep cucking yourself again and again.
>>55679972
i know that feel bro.... i bought a fury x and i can't even play it on the highest settings...
4GB is enough they said.. fuck..

TOP KEK
>>55683948
Relative to what?
AMDs cards also scaled down too.
>>55684674
Relative to the same card in each picture
