Future proofing or waste of money?
Go to solution
Solved by Fate,
There is no future proofing with vram unless you plan to do three maybe four way SLI/crossfire.
Why? Because vram usage doesn't just go up, games get harder to run. When games get harder to run, your card suddenly can't even produce decent framerates anymore. It's like getting a 270x 4GB and hoping for 'futureproofness' when in reality, you're wasting your money. The 270x cannot push anywhere near 4GB vram to my knowledge because it's just too weak. You could also talk about the 290x 8GB, sure it's great for 3-4 way setups (not that I'd recommend that) but by the time you actually need more than 4GB vram at 4k (which you don't) new and better cards will be out.
