Give in, child. It is useless to resist.

Err you sure its the VRAM holding back? ROTR is pretty brutal on the VRAM side, but it does a pretty decent job in managing if it doesnt

Assuming if maxed and ROTR has TressFX still built in, that alone can contribute to 50% of frame lost

well, you could check this out

ill say most likely GPU reached perf limit most of times than hitting VRAM cap. but yeah 4GB is not really sufficient these days esp newer ones

could it be due to PureHair? TressFX was brutal as well during cutscenes of TR2013

heck, the most recent brutal cutscene rendering i had was Black Ops 3.

Haha so if 1440p confirm need 1080ti is it

Tempted by <RM2k GTX 1070. But then again, I game at 1080p only and currently on a GTX 970 which is quite sufficient. Would make more sense to upgrade my display to at least 1440p.

Tempted, but in no hurry... as the wiseman says, "Poison is stronk."

hmmmmm....

haha think of the temptation of the game to trade gtx980 for gtx1070 wasn't really worth it at all unless you have some extra to spend however i test my gc level max detail i can afford which already heaven for me 

haha I think that minimum frame rates just a small hiccup (1 sec due to i notice anti virus update). anyway I using gtx1080 FE upgrade from my GTX480

must be the 4GB RAM limit, max textures need more than 4gb.

it's still a great gpu to keep if you dont mind turning down abit.

is this 1080p? seems like 8GB vram (or 6GB at very least) is the standard for future games. dissappointed that 1060 only go 3GB/6GB 192bit route if rumor is true, might as well buy a used 980. maybe they thought 3.5GB is too generous already for 1080p so need to reduce it.

upgrade upgrade Star Citizen can be quite taxing i heard. Deus Ex Mankind Divided not sure got down graded or not. not forgetting Battlefield 1 too.

By then, 1080 ti may just be around the corner lor

IIRC, previous generations of x60 cards usually come with very little ram and 128bit memory interface. This time it's 192 and with a lot more rams so it probably is as they claimed.

From the GTX1080 and GTX1070 reviews, it seems that Pascal with GPUBoost 3.0 will clocks higher than its rated boost clock, running at 1780 to 1800MHz most of the time.

GTX980 TFLops = 2048 x 1216 x 2 = 4.98 TFlops
GTX970 TFlops = 1664 x 1178 x 2 = 3.92 TFlops
GTX1060 TFlops = 1280 x 1800 x 2 = 4.6 TFlops (very similar to GTX980 perf)

Overclocked:-
GTX980 = 2048 x 1450 x 2 = 5.94 TFlops (close to GTX980Ti, stock)
GTX970 = 1664 x 1450 x 2 = 4.83 TFlops (close to GTX980, stock)
GTX1060 = 1280 x 2050 x 2  = 5.25 TFlops

Using the TFlops comparison, this is IMO quite accurate indicator on how GP104 and GP106 will perform based on Maxwell. It is after all very similar layout. GP100's layout is somewhat different from GP104.

GTX1070 = 1920 x 1800 x 2 = 6.92 TFlops
GTX 980Ti = 2816 x 1075 x 2 = 6.05 TFlops
GTX TitanX = 3072 x 1075 x 2 = 6.60 TFlops

Hence, GTX1070 is faster than TitanX. But what happens when overclocked?

GTX1070 = 1920 x 2050 x 2 = 7.87 TFlops (only 14% increase)
GTX980Ti = 2816 x 1450 x 2 = 8.17 TFlops (35% increase  )

GTX980Ti once overclocked, will be faster, a bit
