1080p vram for 3 years future proof?

4 gigs should be fine i guess.... please remember to follow your own topics!

[JorenBus]

3GB should be enough to max out most games in the upcoming 3 years.

4 gb will be a very healthy amount. 

 

Pick up a 970 or 290x and you'll be golden at 1080p for a while anyway. 

[Enderman]

Anything with 3+GB will be enough

[lovingGamer]

you will be good with 3 GB of RAM 99%

But if you can get 4 GB then you are 100%

4GB is pretty much the (practical) upper limit.

 

2GB is enough. Anything lower is stretching into 'this might be less comfortable in the future' territory and anything more is great. 3GB is ample. 

Nothing is future proof. 

[TheKDub]

2GB is enough for 1080p, though 4GB is optimal.

[TechnoBacon]

3,5 gigs should serve you well

[ErickS89]

2GB is fine and still maxing games, 3-3.5GB is recommended though.

[dandrix]

3.5 GB

[IceCold007]

The way I see it the more the better but 3 or 4 gig vram should be fine. I would side on the 4 gig just to be safer.

[Maudima]

If you really want to be safe go 4 but 3 should be fine. 

[Whorax]

Like others have said, 4GB would be a safe bet.

Three years future proof... How well does a GTX 580 fare these days, even the 3GB version?

 

Everyone here recommending 4GB for 1080p "futureproof" is essentially saying just that: 3GB 580 for futureproof back in 2012. Arguably two of them performs like a single 780.

 

tl;dr don't buy a GPU now and expect it to still be good in three years, whatever you get.
