For future proof, but I am still not sure, difficult to decide

I asked because i just bought a 780 and am now wishing i had waited for the 800's.
there are so many saying that upcoming games will require more horsepower+vram than a 780 has?

Tell anyone who says so that they are wrong.

I play First person shooters, for example Crysis, COD etc.. games like Watch Dogs... and also need for speed...
The resolution currently I use 1280 x 720 on Samsung P2350 23"

But if it is not a problem with the GTX 780... I want to play them in 1920 x 1080, also I want to try to play some games on my Samsung 40 inches which resolution is 1920 x 1080 as well.



What games do you play, and what monitor/resolution do you use?

I use a 50" at 1920x1080 and it is awesome! I play those same games along with BF3 and 4
the 40" will be great!;)

I kind of chuckle when I see "future proof", I thought most 3GB-4GB video cards today would be future proof for the next 2-3 years but then along came Watch_Dogs and Wolfenstein... next year Nvidia and AMD will probably start peddling out 6GB cards.

Probably???:biggrin: I think it is more like Will definitely going by
the titan black and the 780 6'g versions.
they are milking the 700 series for all its worth before the 800's come out;)
PS to the OP, There is no such thing as "future proof"
guys with 3g 780ti's even know that now

~ 81.96% of PC gamers have 2GB of VRAM or less, including 35% sitting on 1GB.

Consoles, on games like Watchdogs, are not using more than 2GB of VRAM, note even close. The system RAM and OS are very hungry, and the shaders do not cause errors like they do in PC ports.


So, ask yourself, who is going to pay someone to write games that take up so much VRAM, that a very minor percentage of gamers will be able to play them?

Most games, particularly console ports, are made for the lowest common denominator. Until someone can convincingly overcome such specific data, don't listen to them.
