hi i recently have been looking for a resolution to my question "how much vram do i need" yes i know that there is other posts explaining this but i cannot find the resolution i am using,
i know that for 1080p 2 gb of v ram is enough but what about the other resolutions e.g. 4k, 5760x1080 etc i and anyone else who finds the need to ask this question will be thankful for for some explanation (i personally use 3 1080p monitors which come down to 5760 x 1080) i asked another question about graphics cards on "tom's HARDWARE" fortunately it was answered and i ended up with the conclusion of purchasing a gtx 980 and as much as i believe that it will run all my games at max settings i was thinking of getting 2 of the 6GB gtx 780's form strix purely because of the v ram because i read somewhere that the demand of vram in gaming is rising and this setup is supposed to last me a very long time **3 -4 years** so shall i stay with the single gtx 980 or sli 2 6GB 780's sc from strix p.s if i get a gtx 980 i will probably not sli it any time soon or maybe never, my specs are below if needed
