2x/SLI'd EVGA GeForce GTX 760 Superclocked with ACX coolers. Overclocked past the factory overclock.

I like the setup. Use it for gaming/recording/rendering. However I want MOAR POWER and thus once the 880 comes around I'll be getting one of those to replace my 2 760's, and then eventually a second 880 for SLI.

Never say it's not broken. Everything is broken. Why? Because everything needs MOAR POWA!

Ah Makes sense, Modded games and Watch Dogs (lol) really benefit from that extra VRAM.

I'm running it at Ultra and so far it only uses 1996 mb of my GTX 760's Vram (2GB edition ~2048mb total)

What's your FPS/Actual Settings? Watch Dogs itself actually tells you the higher you max it out, the more VRAM it needs.

Maybe it's just system dependent? Not sure how it works

My average FPS is 47. With the preset at Ultra and no AA

7950 "R9 280" for gaming + folding.

 

I also paid it off by mining LTC, luckily I got in about 2 weeks before they rocketed to $40 from $4 (I made around $500:) ).

Ah. No I understand now. There's several things that boost the VRAM usage on Watch Dogs, Ultra says "requires 3GB of VRAM" and AA requires more VRAM usage. But my point is, you'd probably be in the 50's at least a bit more consistently if the game wasn't so badly optimized.
