That 5.5 or maybe 7Gb at the end of the gen will run out too at some point. Plus reserving a large part of that for caching HDD assets would still be helped by having an extra resource to read data from. |
Looking at the estimated pixel fill rate and processing power of next gen GPUs, I think its not very likely they will ever be able to occupy that much VRAM. You'd need a GTX 780/Titan like GPU to push 6GB worth of data.
Even if that day comes though, I'd much rather take no disk swapping, digital library following me, instant switching and other benefits digital will offer, over worrying about few games and their textures at the end of the next gen console cycle.
I am also not touching GTAV till next gen version or PC version comes out... :)
