VRAM with a 970 SSC- Should i use up to 4gb?

[BigDoop]

So i just got my gtx 970 ssc "(i know the 1060 just came out but i bought the 970 about 20 days ago and had to RMA the first one) and ive been monitoring my vram usage, should i worry about going over 3gb of usage or does it not matter if i go up to the 4gb? I know the last 512mb or whatever is not that good, but should i still go past that limit?

Slow ram is still faster then hdd/sdd, it fine

So it will never go past 4gb? SO should i even bother monitoring it?

Not unless you got nothing better to do, the hardware/driver will do it thing.
