When will the GTX 780 6GB card best tested and listed on these pages?? Or is there somewhere else I can go that has benched this card side by side with the GTX 780 TI (3GB)

Everyone (and via all my reading on forums online) told me NO video game these days (Except modded Skyrim) would come close to using 3gb of VRAM, which I'm finding to be complete BS. I play BF4 on 1080p monitor (ultra everything settings), using my my GTX780-6GB card and it constantly is hitting almost 4gb of VRAM and almost never drops below 100fps :) ... So even though the GTX780ti is a little "faster", it lacks in needed VRAM.. So which one is "better" ??

Thank you much :)

If you only plan on sticking with one monitor, go for the 780ti every time. It will be better in every way.

The reason that it might be close to 4GB of VRAM is because there is some old data just left on the card. If you had 3GB the game would manage it better and you wouldn't notice a difference.

Good question. I think when you say performance you are trying to say what will get better fps at a given resolution is that right? I think fps is going to come down to the faster and more cudacore gpu so the 780 ti would be a better performer. The VRAM would come into play with the quality of the textures on screen but so long as the 3GB is not being maxed out the 6GB would offer no advantage in my opinion. However it would be more future proof. I think for right now at 1080p there aren't too many games that will take a performance hit if you don't have 4GB. But who knows what games will need next year. I think the shadows of mordor game asks for 6GB for the highest quality textures even at 1200p which I use. I have SLI 3GB GTX 780's so I am pretty pissed games are already going over 3GB and always wondered why they didn't just give it at least 4GB as that's what the GTX 770 is offered with for less. Hopefully they will continue to make ultra setting games that can run well with 3GB or else my $1200 in GPU's will become a real let down. Then again with variable refresh rate monitors coming out I dont think the 60fps or 120hz standard will matter so much anymore. And that means less requirements on VRAM. If you can get 45fps to look as smooth as 120hz and not notice a difference while gaming they can better use the VRAM on the GPU. Hope that added something.
