Non Titan 6GB GK110 cards coming - GTX 780 6GB: 549.99$, GTX 780ti 749.99$

Just because a game shows the usage, doesnt mean it needs it.

Thief the crappy game runs perfectly fine at 2560*1440 with everything maxed on my 2GB.

Its a classic misunderstanding, inherited from the misunderstandings of the taskmgr as well.

again I'm not some freakin noob here and I'm well aware of that. You missed the part where I mentioned earlier that the game was hitching while it was getting pegged at my vram limit. and no the game does not run perfectly smooth at 2560 with max settings and high SSAA on a 2 gig card. In fact at launch it was a complete stutterfest even at 1080 with a 2 gig card. A patch fixed a lot of that though.

2Gb was not enough but a patch fix it? What did the patch do? Did it had an extra 2 GB of Vram?

Your post looks contradictory !

Are you advocating more VRAM due to a bug in a game that got fixed?

Maybe you should get a GTX 760 with 4 GB of RAM... it might help you. :whiste:

Imagine if they did a GTX 760 with 8GB of RAM, you could run 4k surround with a single card, wow.

so again all you can come up with are ignorant replies. The game is 100% playable at those settings with even a single card but again it's pretty close to using the VRAM which is the whole damn point. At 4k there is no doubt it would be right at the limit and would go over with SSAA. please stop replying if you don't have anything intelligent to actually add. You are never going to comprehend that having a 780 sli setup at very high res would allow settings that will use more than 3gb at times.

Do you own that kind of setup? You own a 24" 1080p monitor and you use downsample on a single GTX 780?

I would like you to try another GTX 780 in your setup to realize that you're GPU bound and not Vram bound.

I'm saying that when the game first launched that it used a little more vram than it does now after a patch. So maybe that addressed some issues or reduced detail. my test in here though is still after the patch.

please stop making asinine excuses. The overall frame rates were just fine but it was hitting vram limit in spots causing some hitching.

My test is done at present. Shows absolutely no issue with max settings for VRAM at 2560*1440p with 2GB.

So even if the game shows 3GB VRAM used in your case. We can conclude there is absolutely no difference between 2GB and 3GB VRAM usage in the game. And there is no VRAM limitation.

Did you ever experience multi-monitors and multi-GPUs? That is my question?

so basic comprehension fails you. I was at 3200x1800 and again it would hitch because it was maxing out the vram. at 2560 it did not quite go to the full 3 gigs.

So tell me why it runs perfectly fine on mine. I would like to know your rationale behind that. I got an extra screen I can use as well to expand my res. It still doesnt change the fact I dont need more than 2GB.

maybe because you have a magical system I guess. There is zero chance you are running the game smoothly at 3200x1800 on max settings and high ssaa with a 2gb card.

Are you finished arguing now? No, let me rephrase that -- you are finished arguing now.
