Kepler Nvidia GeForce GTX 780

[GoldenTiger]

Here's a few games that go above 2GB@5840x1080. The file names point to the game/setting. Some of them are a bit too much for my single 7970 but are still valid points for CrossFire use. Also some would exceed 2GB at lower settings too.

While many games will allocate more, they do not *need* more to run at full performance. BF3 and Crysis 2 especially are well-known to do so. Skyrim can be pushed to with excessive modding that offers little visual gain compared to a more modest modded install. Others can be pushed with extreme settings that VRAM would have no impact on even if present due to performance. Notice the framerate in the few you do have that are legitimately over 2GB, and their settings from the filenames, and that's with an oc'd 7970. Unplayable with those numbers, let alone minimums...

[As was said, GPU speed is an issue long before VRAM ever becomes one. Some extreme settings can result in higher than 2GB can run properly, but that's more for show than actual use.
