[ipon] Shadow of Mordor: 6GB of VRAM for ultra textures

In addition, the game clearly shows how much VRAM you will also need: the Ultra package at least 6GB on, while high package be satisfied 3GB year over year.

Couldn't find an english article on this but will update the news post if one pops up. Interesting to see if benchmarks actually back up the need for this much VRAM.

Thats 2 game comfirming the need of over 3gb yet not so long ago if you said that this would exactly happen every 780ti owners would take a pleasure explaning to you how "wrong" you where.

Kinda sad even high end cards like the 980 won't even meet the requirement. I just wonder if it's going to impact that much how textures look.

as I said b4.. new console port = Large VRAM req.

it has begun....biggrin.gif

Sounds to me like a laziness issue more than a quality texture situation. If the developers know they have 3-5 gigs of Vram to play with they probably won't compress textures or optimize things as much...

I'm not upgrading my 7950s for another year at least. I'll really see how my "lack" of Vram affects my gaming experience.... rolleyes.gif

i believe this is absurd. The most advanced GPUs now are 4GB "yes there are 6GB' but they are special editions.. either this ultra settings look super impressive with tons of details or it's terribly optimized and i tend to believe in the later. devs are as usual so lazy with imports optimization ....

This game looks like it might be be able to have awesome visuals with massive textures, but a game developed by JP studio that is primarily a ps3/360 title that is being ported to PC/PS4/Xbone? I'll give Mordor the benefit of the doubt but Evil Within is just a joke list of "recommended" specs.

Though I guess Evil Within could be the new GTA IV and a new benchmark of atrocious ports! 3GB will still be fine for the conceivable future and won't be truly needed for another year or two save for maybe a handful titles.

I said how a $700 card with only 3gb of vram was rubbish at launch of the 780ti. yes performance was good but you can get 3gb of vram on a 7950 for $200. GTX 690, 2gb of vram was awful even then. Some say but but games didn't require it but I looked at what I wanted to do with settings and mods and value and thought NVidia is awfully tight with their vram, do not want.

Also more importantly 780ti SLI has so much GPU power and a tiny amount of vram its shocking to me anyone would bother. Such a waste of GPU power like the 690 was not long after. Instead of supporting that you should've got 680 4gb for SLI instead of a 690

A $700 GPU released 10 months ago should come with 6gb of vram, I don't care what you say. its poor value and its about time NVidia started upping their game. 970 is not bad
