So with the extra 4GB available to devs now, what graphical/performance improvements would that bring? Or will will we have to wait until the second wave for it to really be utilized?

In the first wave of PS4 titles, nothing. Most PC games now don't even use 2GB of VRAM at 2560x1600, even less so at 1920x1080 - the target resolution for PS4. The 8GB of GDDR5 is such massive overkill because most PC games don't need more than 4GB of memory to run in the OS and 2GB for the game. But the actual game on a PC often uses just 1-2GB of total system memory, not 4GB.


Do you, any chance, have data for Skyrim with those 8k texture mods?
