need help choosing how much vram

[Eyad AlDeeb]

hey guys i'am planing to build a new pc so i am going to buy i5 4460/ 8gb ram/ 1TB hdd / xfx rx 470 but i'am not sure about how much vram so should i buy 4gb or 8gb version?? My screen resolution is 900p.. i want to play every game like /the witcher/ dying light/ maxed out without fps issues

Go for the 4GB if it's cheaper. The Rx 470 won't be able to handle anything that uses up 6-8GB of VRAM anyway.

on a 900 p resolution you can use any of the mid range cards ranging from 1-3 gigs of vram , the reason I say 3 gigs of vram with today's titles coming out is b/c they are using up a lot of vram not like the old games that used like 500 mbs -1000 mbs with todays titles use like 1500 mbs to 2500 mbs
