Yea there are plenty of cards that can max out a game at say 4gb vram and then you go to a card that has 6 or 8 and it will perform exactly the same but show usage of 5,6,7 etc vram.........Hell when i turn sli on to my 780ti's i get max vram usage in games like division but if i only run 1 780ti it wont max it out, it will run at like 2.6-2.8gb vram. The whole vram thing can start to become a gimmick if you let it. Gpu vendors like amd have made a killing off making people think you have to have more vram to play the best kinda like they did with slapping a bunch of useless cores onto their cpu's then telling people more cores = better performance. Obviously we all know even some of intels lowest end stuff beats the pants off amd's top of the line cpu's so dont get caught up in the more vram stuff. Yes 4gb+ is where the future is and I would think 6gb is the sweet spot but hey if they wanna throw 16gb vram on the next flagship thats alright with me too lol.
Depends on the game -Did you notice a performance increase when you upgraded to a 6700k?
