do you think just buy 4GB lightning will be wiser?

There are so many 4GB cards on the market, I would think that's the target for game developers for years to come.

The ceiling for game developer's VRAM requirement when designing a game now would be 2GB, 3GB and 4GB. On rare cases 6GB or 8GB.

I see... too many different opinions around... making me really blurred out~

1. Some lazy developer just port without optimization
2. GPU can be used to compute in directx 12

Of course it correlate. GPU usage is GPU processing image and throw into VRAM. GPU doing processing at 40% usage already can fill up 100% VRAM. What that tells you? That tells you that GPU able to fill up VRAM faster than VRAM dumping out to HDMI. HD7870 is a great card. But hampered by VRAM.

Just like 290X is a great card. It might be hampered by 4GB RAM.

No, what happened was that the game already start using much slower system RAM thus creating a bottleneck, that's why the GPU usage is low.

Ok I accept your explanation.

It still point to VRAM deficiency.

Any card has 3 display ports?

When the competitor shot themselves in the foot, AMD doesn't just stay silent but help them shoot too

Where you got this?

Another hit to nVidia....

Aww that must be very painful

Just checked IdealTech's latest pricelist, no more Sapphire 290s?

Hint of R9 390?

Well,you can just ask zhen^wei about the availability of Sapphire 290s.
