I don't think there was any doubt this was going to happen.

However if they put 6 GB of RAM on it (3 GB per GPU) its a big misfire... A card like that will need more VRAM to be utilized properly. There is no point getting this if you're gaming @1080p and at Nvidia surround/4k resolutions, some games are pushing close to 3 GB already.

In my opinion, the most "futureproof" GPU from Nvidia right now (not counting the Titan which is the king but too expensive) is the gtx 770 4GB version. 2 of those in SLI and you are well under 1000 dollars spent and have plenty of VRAM to run Nvidia surround for years to come.


Nah. Need more than 6Gb of video memory. I'll happily walk away with 8-12Gb per card at my resolution.
I have already hit the 3Gb of video memory limit in most games, thus the GPU has to request and write the data from/to System Ram once the GDDR5 is filled, which by comparison is slow (Even though it's Quad Channel.)
Thus, performance tanks, generally I already have to sacrifice texture resolution to sit under the 3Gb barrier, just nothing available yet that's *really* worth me sinking down a couple grand.

Yep...exactly my thoughts. Need more than 3GB per GPU.

Knowing Nvidia and GTX 590, 690...they will not give us more than 6GB for 790.
