Hi there,
This question has been asked a lot on forums everywhere and I'm just looking for an updated answer taking into consideration the latest games released now and for future purposes.
So I am planning to build this RIG (Intel core i5 4690, 8 GB of DDR3 RAM, and 750W PSU), my budget would allow me to buy a GTX 970 or R9 390 as they are almost at the same price now, and here is my question:
If I'm planning to play only at 1080p and this is the resolution of the monitor that I'm going to get, and I will never go for a 4K monitor in future, will the 3.5 GB of VRAM on the GTX 970 be enough for high settings gaming or should I go for the 8 GB on the R9 390?
And will there be some games in future (like in 2 years for example) that are able to use all of the VRAM on the GTX 970 at only 1080p making this card looks weak?.
If there are other factors that governs the decision please feel free to mention it.
Regards
