As some of you already know, I'm curently waiting for more reviews of the GTX 970 to make the jump and get it (it's a battle now between it and the R9 290, with the Nvidia card having all the advantages), but with the ridiculous requirements some studios are asking for, that Ryse pic and The Evil Within are the lastest examples, I don't know if it would be better for me to wait for a 8GB version of that card to make the jump.

Seriously, asking for that much VRAM is a ridiculous so early in this gen of console ports... and what the hell does Bethesda mean with "i7 with four plus cores"? Are there any i7 with less than 4 cores? And does it mean that an i7-920 is ok but an i5-2500K isn't? Bah!

Ryse pic? I thought Ryse wasn't too insane with it's 3GB for 1080p max settings, 4GB for 4K. Do you mean the Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor optional downloadable ultra HD (probably raw uncompressed) texture pack that requires 6GB? Because if the later I wouldn't worry about it that is a setting for crazy people, and future proofing.

As for The Evil Within I guess you can just write that one off as "lol, Japan" and "lol, id Tech 5". That game will almost assuradly be a terrible port, and be esentially the PS4 version just dumped on PC without any optimisation for the platform.

I thought it was a Ryse pic, my bad.

But it isn't just those games. Do you remember what happened with WatchDogs and the performance hit when enabling the textures to high/very high?

But all in all, gaming on my 1080p screen it won't be much of a problem.
