Most of the high end games use between 2-3GB VRAM maxed and if you absolutely need to max everything out, you will need 3GB of memory. 

So to conclude, as long as you don't mind lowering to 2X or 4X MSAA and 4XAF, the tri gtx 660 Ti sli setup works for now and the near forseeable future. But you absolutely need 3GB of VRAM if you don't want to see sudden performance dives...


Before I upgraded my monitors and graphics cards I used to game happily on a couple of Radeon 6950's unlocked into 6970's and overclocked at 5760x1080, which for 99% of games was more than enough, provided you didn't go spastic with the Anti-Aliasing... And those cards only had 2gb of ram, but they were terrific value back then, especially when unlocked. :)

However, 3x Geforce 660 Ti's would crack a hernia at max settings at 7680x1440 or 7680x1600, 4x/8x AA/AF in a game like Crysis 3, heck my 3x 7970's sometimes struggle.

Whoa whoa...lets not go crazy with expectations here. :)

Makes one wonder if the top end Radeon 9000 series cards or Geforce 800 series cards in tri SLI/crossfire will be able to power 4K display eyefinity. Let's say 3 Sharp PN-K321's.

They would need to push 24,883,200 pixels which is a 100% increase to the crazy resolutions above, so I guess it seems possible. Actually 3 Titans may even be able to do it and deliver 40-60 fps...
