Heyo!

On high setting I give it 1..very hardly 1,5-2 years. 2GB VRAM is the minimum nowaday(on 1080p), and a wider memory bus is alw better.
So if u feel uncomfortable just get a card with bigger VRAM or grab another 760 for SLI, what may longer the potential with 1-2 plus year.

Have fun!

I am a kind of guy who is enjoying Sleeping dogs at 720p [Monitor is 1080p] medium settings on my intel integrated hd4600 gpu, so i thought the 760 will be the best choice for me? [Eye candy is a benefit not a necessity]

With due respect sir, Are you trolling?

I clearly mentioned i have a 1080p monitor, also even though i am a noob i pretty sure know that 760 is way way overkill for a 720p resolution and will last atleast 2years on max and 2more on high.

Infact my iGPU Intel HD4600 itself plays all games at 720p medium settings.
 


My apologies, I mistook 720p for the resolution of the monitor you were using.

I'm currently using a 7950 which is comparable to the 760, and it's got no problems running games at Ultra so far including BF4 (1080p). It's overclocked to 1050MHz.

I've no idea how it will perform in High and Ultra for the games yet to be released. But I don't expect them to get a lot more demanding because a rig with a 760 is definitely more powerful than the new consoles. They also operate much more similarly to PCs (use of multi-threading and x64) as compared to the old consoles, so console ports suffer minimal drop in performance when run on a PC.

You already got a 760, if performance becomes unsatisfactory you could always add another 760.

Sli 760 will do fine even in 4k, I've seen the benchmarks, they were impressive, that's why I picked up this card, so I could add another one later on.
