I would think the same thing but it doesn't look like it, GTX 680 4gb performing nearly identical to the 2gb version:

Yeah but the settings for this benchmark aren't the same as the one OP posted.

For the OP, crysis 3 is getting 8 FPS on a GTX 680. The benchmark you posted is getting 20-25 fps, which means AA and settings must have been lowered to a point where VRAM isn't a bottleneck anymore. 

The description said FXAA enabled, though maybe at lower levels than that in the OP. But seriously at 4K resolution who gives a damn, will you even notice it? It's definitely not worth dropping a thrith of the framerate.

Looking at the SLI/crossfire performance you will see that high end gaming is definitely possible at 4k, as long as you don't crank filtering and AA settings up to pointless levels:
