4k video card

Sorry, I corrected it too late

 

12gb are also impossible, trust me ^^ the vram indicator in gta v is broken and counts the total memory used on all available cards even though in reality it doesn't stack.

Yeah but you don't find too many dual GPU cards at the moment (R9 295x2, PowerColor's Devil13, Titan Z (No), That Fury Gemini thingy soon...etc) and if @OP wants realllly good FPS then a single 390(x) would be pushing it, no?

 

It all depends on the settings. I use an r9 290 and my framerates are smooth enough for my taste (50+) in pretty much everything I play after tinkering with the settings. And I never really have to go lower than high most of the time. The things that really tank are usually anti-aliasing (which is pointless at 4k), ambient occlusion and depth of field, all things I barely notice anyway and I don't consider worth lowering the resolution for.

 

295x2s and Devil13s are pretty easy to get a hold of, I just checked on amazon and they were both available (although not many units). In fact, here in Italy the devil13 is actually cheaper than the 295x2 at 800€ against 1.2k (must be because the latter is discontinued).

not the stock version

TitanFall?

TitanFall?

 

even that barely uses 4gb with anti-aliasing - and bare in mind that on gpus with more vram the usage will be higher than it needs to be

That used 3GB without any AA and not even half-max settings for me ._. - it even crashed

Vram doesn't scale linearly - some games just hit a target usage and sit there. Besides the source engine really has no right to use all that vram at this point... let's just say titanfall isn't a technological marvel.

Of course it's not - but at 4K and with AA I can see it maxing 8GB

nah, I strongly doubt it, especially since there weren't any cards with more than 4gb of vram when it launched whereas 4k was already a thing.

And the Fury has 4GB vram over a massive 4096 bit (is that the right number?) memory bus so it's just fine at 4k.

Actually I have been looking into it, and at this moment in time the gtx 980ti is doing much better than the x. It seems to be from the comments on youtube as well as the actual benchmarks above it, that the specs (benchmarks, fps etc) released by amd weren't true to their word. That is just for reference cards it could be said, however there appears to be an overclocking limit on the X;

It seems to be that until a new driver comes out, the 980ti is still the best bet

in all available cards? With a titan x, with 12gb ram, the only argument i have to go on is your "vram counter isnt correct" and that's the first I heard of that...

He argued the wrong point. If you SLI titan x's you don't even look after settings first of all, you set that shit on ultra and chug ahead with a minimum of 60fps lmao

 

With ONE titan X which has 12GB of VRAM

GTA V cranked ALL the way UP, takes up all of it.

[TheCaptain53]

Yes, but I like my games on ultra. and on ultra, gta v already uses 16gb of vram;

so we're already stretching the limits. the only reason I chose not to sli two titan x's is I'm close to affording this and am impatient ;-;

I will sli the 980 ti i get in the future, however from what I've seen one will do just fine till then

Okay, I have not heard of this before. I will try it out tomorrow.

KK don't forget to throw all those bars up you lucky bastard. I'd have one if I could afford it lol

I only have one because I bought it cheap from some clearance stock. Got it for £400 and the card is pristine, fucking bargain, mate! I'd still be using my GTX 970 otherwise.

I'd just like to say that (at 3440x1440) I average ~70fps on GTAV with everything (all advanced features turned on and advanced sliders at 50%) maxed excluding MSAA. Admittedly, GTAV is not at all optimized for AMD hardware, but it takes 2 Fury X's to maintain decent fps in that game. I can imagine that with MSAA on it would require the 6GB of memory from a 980ti, but 12GB is definitely not needed.

On 4k, with everything at the very tippy top, it uses 12
