New cards should have 4gb of VRAM too. Pretty much required these days with the latest high end games because of the consoles. I warned this a year ago. Bet that 4gb serves you well on watch dogs. 3.5gb vram can be used ultra and msaa at just 1080p...don't buy anything with less than 4gb now. GTA5 is probably gonna be the same. |

will the 760 drop in price even more when the new cards come out? is it worth buying another and putting 2 in my pc

unlikely. both amd and nvidia eol old cards very quickly 1s the new generation arrive. theres no reason for them to drop prices when there replacing there entire product line every 2 years. the cards come out and are at a premium for the first 5-6 months, then they settle down to RRP and the last 6-8 months you may get a bargain here and there but generally prices will stay pretty much the same.

been saying similar over at toms. over the next 2 years we are gonna see the demand for higher amounts of vram as the consoles develop there api's they will start using most of there shared ram for gfx.

@ nobyboy - 1.08.14 - 10:02pm isnt the 780 a beast how will you top that It is a beast but if i sell now i can get good money for it towards the new card .Did the same with my cpu recently ,sold my 4770k for 210 and got a 4790k for 230 so 20 pounds for a slightly faster but better cooled cpu makes sense . |

Think everyone has been saying this for sometime now even my 780 struggles in some games at 4k .Need more vram and more gpu muscle |

Only because we are being scammed by Nvidia and AMD. They pay the developers to purposely make the games run not quite so good so they can force us to upgrade every year or so. We will easily be on 16GB VRAM by the end of this gen of consoles. |

18 month upgrade cycle sounds about right to me

jaymack norega and spartan still here, thought yall on consoles by now. well nvidias new cards are out now amd to follow, im currently on 2x R9 290x and very happy had 2x 780 ti's aswell but have to admit mantle is worthit no direspect to nvidia the 780s are good but for some reason the games i play plays smoother on the amd cards than on nvidia (just my 2 cents)
