Obvious newbie questions.
I found a website (won't disclose so it doesn't get gold rushed) that has 670's and 680's in stock of all varieties. I see a 680 4GB for $596, no tax, few dollars shipping.
I'd like to dabble in After Effects, 3d/2d rendering, HD video editing. Mostly for the pure joy of feeling and learning like a kid. Not super interested in the gaming side - except for the rare exception like Arkham City.
Anyway, around the web, I get the general theme that nobody needs 4gb on their GPU except if they have a million monitors surrounding them.
However, in gaming, will this extra memory help with high-res textures on a large hi-res single screen? Fix pop-in, for example?
Or help with video effects/editing/3d work/basically non-gaming graphics applications?
So, would I not notice a difference if I got a 670 2GB? Or perhaps 680 4Gb is more future-proof? At some point games may actually use more than 2GB?
For that matter, why not 670 4GB? An OC 670 is practically a 680.
Disregard price for all these questions.
Thanks for reading. Hope it makes sense.
