you won't always need to have the latest GPU to play the latest games, the games are usually going to be able to be run by previous-gen GPUs so more consumers can adequately play them. Expect your GPU to be good for high settings for another 2 years or so

i give it 5 years . Every year with a bit lower image quality after the 2 nd year.

Now it's gonna be all about VRAM. Shadow of Mordor requires 6GB VRAM for recommended while The Evil Within requires 4GB. I feel sorry for myself and my GTX770 2GB. I'm without money and most likely I will just buy 720p monitor for 50 bucks.

3 and 4 GB VRAM are needed when playing on Ultra . If you play on High , even 2GB are enough .But GTX 780 has 3GB VRAM . And what is the difference between Ultra and High ? nothing

I'm aware of that but still even in 1080p resolution that amount of vram is required. It's getting radicilous.

Do you think that they will make games running only on super high rigs ? They will default , even now GTX 660 2GB can run everything !
