I have a ->
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3770K CPU @ 3.50GHz
Video Card NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780
Manufacturer NVIDIA
Chipset GeForce GTX 780
Dedicated Memory 3.0 GB
Total Memory 4.0 GB
Memory 16 GB

I recently bought Shadows of Mordor. Offered, were hd textures that required a video card with 6 gb on the card, which I don't have but the game still ran good on ultra. Is this the future of pc gaming? I always assumed my pc would be relevant for many years. When I upgrade, I was going to SLI the gtx 780. However I've heard the video memory doesn't stack. Is shooting for a 6gb the smart choice? I don't have much knowledge in this area and finding out I couldn't run something made me wonder. Is "next gen" pc going to take the 6gig? Also if someone can comment on how my pc will be against the lifespan of the ps4, that would be great! Thank you ahead of time.

Well the new consoles have about 6GB of VRAM available to devs, so I would imagine most games will be able to utilize up to 6GB. That being said. Shadow of Mordor High is pretty much just as good as ultra. I have a setup similar to yours and I play on high just to get a very consistant 60 fps.

Your system will always be stronger than PS4 because you have more processing power, regardless of VRAM. slightly compressing textures to work with your 3GB of VRAM shouldn't be that big of an issue. We will see what the next line of cards is but I wouldn't be surprised to see 6GB VRAM cards soon.
