I'm curious to just how much BF4 is an outlier compared to other modern titles (like Batman:AO, Tomb Raider, etc)? Have any of the major sites benched the RAM usage in other titles?
You should call the GTX 780Ti what it is: the bell cow card from nVidia. It's going to carry a stiff penalty (in cost) to wear the single-fastest crown. They have no intention of targeting the budget inclined buyer at the $500+ range and they know name-brand (rightfully earned?) goes a long...
Personally I don't think 1080p and image quality are mutually exclusive. In order to spot the differences between MSAA and SSAA you essentially have to compare screenshots. The fact is 2-3GB of vram is going to be completely sufficient for 95%+ of gamers.
Completely agree with you once you...
.. if gaming @1440p (27" monitor) with all settings at max (including an expensive SSAA). Based on the Guru3D link, it appears that even 2GB is adequate for most people. Though I'd agree a 3GB would be a better buy for future proofing.
How disappointing. I've been waiting to pull the trigger on a $400-$500 card and was hoping the 290 would fill that gap. A week delay + an indeterminate amount of time waiting on AIB solutions means I'll be picking up a 780 to satisfy my BF4 needs.
My personal needs aside, if they can bring...
Any chance the release will line up with their (nVidia's) Holiday bundle tomorrow? I figure they will want to drop the 780Ti before the R9 290 reviews crop up on Thursday. Plus the 28th seemed like an odd date at the time they announced it.
I'd argue it's hard to refute rumor and unverified screenshots that are supplied as fact.
Also, seems a little hypocritical to call someone out for making personal attacks and turn around and do it yourself. Been reading AT for a long time and I think this sub has hit a low.
In my current setup I have a GTX 570. Served me well over the years but it's time to move up. And to me that's the most aggravating part of this launch. While the 290/290x haven't been "delayed" in the truest sense of the word, AMD has really botched the launch in regards to BF4 - a sequel to...
