Hey Guys!
I'm building a machine with 2x GTX 770s (or probably the 870 if it really comes out in Q1) with 4 GB of VRAM (isn't it really DRAM?) each. I know they don't add up for 8 GB of VRAM, but here's my questions:
What does it even do? I think it stores the instructions on how to draw each pixel or maybe the textures and stuff, but I really don't KNOW for sure...
I was thinking about it, and I could see how more VRAM would help when it comes to higher resolutions, such as 1440>1080, but when it comes to 5760 x 1080, I get lost... Shouldn't it still have to store the same amount of data for each pixel? I know it see's the three monitors as one, but how would that make a difference? Shouldn't it still store the same amount of information to draw the pixels as a 1920 x 1080 resolution, it just has to draw more, right?
Thanks for any help!
P.S. Here is the card I'm looking at: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130925
