Depends on the games you play. You can play old games like Half-Life 2 at 1080p and it will run fine with 1 GB and maybe even with 512 MB. There are even games today that aren't very demanding and won't need 2 GB to run properly on at 1080p.
***** 8GB of VRAM has nothing to do with the 290x's performance. The 290x 4GB has been right behind the 980 for a while now. You fell prey to an idea that was even explained in this video. More VRAM =/= More FPS. *Not a single game* out right now will even come CLOSE to efficiently utilizing anything close to 8GB unless you're playing 4k and somehow using SSAA x10. Games like SoM with a recommended "6" were running fine on cards with 3 like my 780s and other's 780tis. Raw performance > VRAM, and we'll likely need far stronger cards before we even come close to utilizing the 8GB on new cards.

3:52 there's no gtx 770 with 3gb vram, it comes in 2gb vram and a much more expensive 4gb vram options. get your facts straight linus. we don't expect these shenanigans from you.
Tip 1, lower your resolutions to the lowest Tip 2, find your screen size and multiply it with 4x frame rate. That's how much VRAM your GC is using. Buy the GC according to it.
You taught me something today , i was honestly already aware that adding another GPU in crossfire or SLi did not double the VRM ram , but i did think the 290X2 did have 8gig of usable VRAM. Thank you Linus , you saved me a costly mistake
I wasnt sure still i think maybe a 290x+270x 4gb edition is better option since your wont use more then 70% of the 2º gpu (maybe there is no 270x 4gb edition abd maybe im completly wrong but still until anybody explain me otherwise....)
Like he said, it's based on what you have, your screen resolution, what games you play.... i had dual gtx 580's that could max out BF4 but I got consistent stuttering cause I was hitting the 1.5 gb vram limit then though it had enough power to push out 60 frames with that power.

VRAM is memory for graphics rendering. Depends on the game. Higher end gpus will have more VRAM, so typically just buy the GPU and not worry too much about how much VRAM it has.
Still unnecessary in most cases. Even now, a gtx 680 4gb or 770 4gb have plenty of ram, but not enough performance. You would be better served with a 780ti despite it having just 3gb. Memory usage will jump again with the next gen of consoles though.
I spent over a month deciding what GPU to choose and I settled with the gigabyte 1060 windforce OC edition. most ppl said it was a wrong move but playing every game on ultra at 1080p around the 60fps mark. its a solid card.
i was considering a 1070 but at the time budget didn't allow it. also im running a super weak fx4100 cpu so its killing me on heavy visual games. bf1 still runs 50fps on ultra with a 125% upscale. but it foes get a bit of stutter when conquest is busy but never drops below 35. so have a i5 6400 on order :D
All I know is that my GPU (GTX 550 Ti 1 GB) can play Alien: Isolation on max settings on my 1600 x 900 display. Not 1080p, etc. but gotta use what I got and can afford, lol.
epicdiabetic1 As in, a playable frame rate. No stuttering, etc. 30-40 fps tops. However, recording the game takes a hit on the frame rate regardless of the settings for the game, but it's still more than playable. However, the default settings look pretty good, so I use them instead to record the game. I have 11 gameplay videos on my channel.
epicdiabetic1 apparently you've never seen how optimized alien isolation is and technically is a medium level graphics game, everything is pulled from the ps4 version but will slightly better lighting and AA

I had an interesting thought while watching this video: why do graphic processors and vram come in a single unit? How come they aren't separate like a CPU and RAM? Of course this would completely change how mother boards are designed and probably lead to the splitting of Mobo market but could be an interesting concept. I'm guessing that in the early days of gpu it's was easier to design these cards for connecting to a pci but in an alternative history what if the standard for PC's was two sockets. One for a CPU and the other for a gpu with seprate ram ports one set for cpu and the other for GPU.
When Minecraft is the example for a game that doesn't need much VRAM but now it actually requires the most (with SEUS PTGI and high res resource packs)...

"Only 2 GB of vram" yeah Linus. Do you know that my card has only 512 mb? EDIT: I upgraded to 2 GB now and it'senough to run all the games I play at high settings.
I have a 2GB video card but I a ton of research and found a card that supported Vulkan. That is one thing that will really help you on game that support vulkan. And it was pretty much the best 2GB ram card I could find. My card works pretty fast it is not the fastest card but I like it.
I play at 1080p with my GTX970. So even with the VRAM issue goin' around, I've had no issues. People need to realize, this card was built for 1440p, not 4k.
guido van der wal No, don't sli 970 for 4k, maybe the 980 but I have seen games use more than 4 gb of vram on 4k, gtx 980ti and titan x is your best bet.
Unless this is a troll, you are an idiot. You can't download ram. It's physical hardware that you put in your pc. That's just like me saying I found a site to download a CPU. I also think it has a virus in it.
To be clear, sometimes, some gpu may have more vram than they can use,ex: i have a laptoo equipped with radeon R7 M440 dedicated graphics, the card holds 4GB of Vram, yet the gpu is so weak that it can barely get 1.5gb of ram usefull, the only advantage of the 2 additional gigs is that instead of getting 2 fps on high end game and high graphics, i get 8fps
A shorter version. Dual GPU use vram poorly, don't try to boost that way. (Similarly for SLI/Crossfire) If you are going up a level in vram, get a single GPU card. Even if you're shooting over the moon compared to your current demands, future games will probably start needing the 8 gigs or 12 gigs of ram that we will be seeing eventually.
+Vladimir Lastraud One singular, high-cost card is always better. ALWAYS. New companies/programmers always come along and screw up xfire/SLI or forget that twin-GPU cards exist.... so their game either crashes, runs poorly or only uses 1 video card *anyway* and so you're stuck at significantly less performance until they fix it. Which for many games, is *never*.

Some of this stuff is a bit outdated for modern games: Resolution - Deferred rendering changes things: many scenes are actually rendered as various snapshots to the g-buffer. It's not just the base texture that matters, but all sorts of scene information must be taken into account: pixel normal, pixel depth, roughness, specularity, material ID, etc, and many of these are rendered anywhere from 8 to 16 bits float. HDR requires 16 bits per channel for Red, Green, and Blue, which gets downsampled later. And some engines add even more layers to this for special effects like separate passes for translucency, and custom depth to, say, show a silhouette of the main character when hidden behind a rock. I counted 19 images going to UE4's g-buffer, possibly more for lightmaps, the reflection environment, and shadows, and way more for custom depth. Expect around 50-100 MB for the g-buffer alone at 1080 full HD. 4k quadruples this to 100-400 MB! Anti-aliasing - Old MSAA required rendering pixel depth and stencils at 2x, 4x, or 8x higher resolution than the final frame which took a massive hit on the framebuffer and overall render time. However, modern deferred rendering can't even take advantage of that method. Instead, FXAA has been used for better performance at very high resolutions, which requires no additional memory, or TXAA on lower resolutions. TXAA renders random subsections within the pixels and resolves slowly over time. Unlike FXAA, which simply blurs pixels, TXAA actually results in something closer to an unbiased render, but doesn't work well on certain objects. The rest of the space is used for textures, shaders, cache, and polygons. Modern textures are produced at a 2k size, so several MB depending on compression settings, and modern materials use the base texture, roughness, a normal map, and possibly a displacement map as well as several others combined together. It's easy to see why more VRAM is necessary to render modern games.

It depend on your resolution : 1080p gaming only use about 1500 MB - 2500 MB of Vram 4K gaming can use up to 6-8 GB of Vram GTA 5 is the perfect example because that game had an "internal Vram usage counter" on the settings. So ? if you're just 1080p gaming, you don't need more than 4GB of Vram, but if you're 4K gamers, you will need 8GB (or even more) but, people who gaming in 4K usually use the fastest card anyway, you can't play 4K with GTX 750 Ti or R7 350 card.

+AlphaLineGaming 390 is not fast enough for 4K, it has too much VRAM IMO. If you go over 5GB, then you are likely getting 30fps and lower. In 1440p the 390 is excellent tho, at 4K you may have to lower some settings to get 60fps.
4K and surround is too taxing for modern GPUS, the best GPU now for that is the 980 ti, preferably with a custom cooler to get even more performance. That GPU can barely hit 50fps in most games at 4K, so SLI, currently, is the way to go.
YET JUST A BIT A DOG: The minimum these days is DEFINITELY 4 gb. 2 gigs shall do too but never expect anything above 30 fps with 2 gigs though unless you run a really old game perhaps lol. Even that......it's unlikely to reach above 30. 4 gigs nowadays should be the minimum if you want a really good performance.
One of the newer guidelines is........the video card should only have half the amount of VRAM that the System RAM has. In the Windows Operating System, 3Gb is the max amount of System RAM allowed. So your video card would be limited to 1Gb VRAM. You couldn't install a GDDR4 card in your System, it wouldn't work.

Your system should be "future proof" in a sense that you will likely be able to run most stuff for the next decade if you built a super beast now. yes it will not always be top of the line but if you do not demand perfection then the hardware should last quite a while.
kappa, bro
3:52 there's no gtx 770 with 3gb vram, it comes in 2gb vram and a much more expensive 4gb vram options. get your facts straight linus. we don't expect these shenanigans from you.
it. was. just. an. example. Linus knows this.
Chris H. You're wrong
i have a 3gb gtx 770 windforce lol
***** What is 4K then? Any sensible person will tell you 3840x2160...
***** so what else is 4k?
4k is 3840x2160 or 4096x2304 both are 4k.
if it comes to movies/TV it is 3840x2160
so saying 3480x2160 is 4k isnt wrong
Tip 1, lower your resolutions to the lowest
Tip 2, find your screen size and multiply it with 4x frame rate. That's how much VRAM your GC is using. Buy the GC according to it.

You taught me something today , i was honestly already aware that adding another GPU in crossfire or SLi did not double the VRM ram , but i did think the 290X2 did have 8gig of usable VRAM.
Thank you Linus , you saved me a costly mistake
Yes, they are sneaky little fucks aren't they?
I wasnt sure still i think maybe a 290x+270x 4gb edition is better option since your wont use more then 70% of the 2º gpu (maybe there is no 270x 4gb edition abd maybe im completly wrong but still until anybody explain me otherwise....)
vincent metzker WTF?
sli and CFX use 99% on both GPUs depending on the game.
vincent metzker You can't crossfire a 290X and 270X , they have different architectures.

Still unnecessary in most cases. Even now, a gtx 680 4gb or 770 4gb have plenty of ram, but not enough performance. You would be better served with a 780ti despite it having just 3gb.
Memory usage will jump again with the next gen of consoles though.
@@pokepokepoke64 2Gb can give you problems, but a 3gb gtx 1060 works great.
I spent over a month deciding what GPU to choose and I settled with the gigabyte 1060 windforce OC edition. most ppl said it was a wrong move but playing every game on ultra at 1080p around the 60fps mark. its a solid card.
6gb with a boost clock just shy of 1800mhz

I had an interesting thought while watching this video: why do graphic processors and vram come in a single unit? How come they aren't separate like a CPU and RAM? Of course this would completely change how mother boards are designed and probably lead to the splitting of Mobo market but could be an interesting concept. I'm guessing that in the early days of gpu it's was easier to design these cards for connecting to a pci but in an alternative history what if the standard for PC's was two sockets. One for a CPU and the other for a gpu with seprate ram ports one set for cpu and the other for GPU.
He says in the video. The closer the memory, the faster it is to access. Like, physically closer. So the ram has to be on the card itself.
When Minecraft is the example for a game that doesn't need much VRAM but now it actually requires the most (with SEUS PTGI and high res resource packs)...
Lol so basically fuck it, just go with the highest amount you can afford.

I have a 2GB video card but I a ton of research and found a card that supported Vulkan. That is one thing that will really help you on game that support vulkan. And it was pretty much the best 2GB ram card I could find. My card works pretty fast it is not the fastest card but I like it.
I play at 1080p with my GTX970. So even with the VRAM issue goin' around, I've had no issues. People need to realize, this card was built for 1440p, not 4k.
EMPiiRE SLI changes that a bit however.
guido van der wal No, don't sli 970 for 4k, maybe the 980 but I have seen games use more than 4 gb of vram on 4k, gtx 980ti and titan x is your best bet.

Unless this is a troll, you are an idiot. You can't download ram. It's physical hardware that you put in your pc. That's just like me saying I found a site to download a CPU. I also think it has a virus in it.
Alex Fotouhi You literally fell for one of the oldest forms of bait on the internet.
Moo Snuckle Haha yepp :')
+Martijn Hoekstra The thing is, those sites only offer regular DRAM, not VRAM.
To be clear, sometimes, some gpu may have more vram than they can use,ex: i have a laptoo equipped with radeon R7 M440 dedicated graphics, the card holds 4GB of Vram, yet the gpu is so weak that it can barely get 1.5gb of ram usefull, the only advantage of the 2 additional gigs is that instead of getting 2 fps on high end game and high graphics, i get 8fps
ah the simple days, now 8gb is almost not enough anymore
Linux, this video needs more Gigabytes. :)
Linux XD
***** Aren't you the dude that gave me spiders?
A shorter version.
Dual GPU use vram poorly, don't try to boost that way. (Similarly for SLI/Crossfire)
If you are going up a level in vram, get a single GPU card.
Even if you're shooting over the moon compared to your current demands, future games will probably start needing the 8 gigs or 12 gigs of ram that we will be seeing eventually.
Thanks !!
Yis.
+Vladimir Lastraud One singular, high-cost card is always better. ALWAYS. New companies/programmers always come along and screw up xfire/SLI or forget that twin-GPU cards exist.... so their game either crashes, runs poorly or only uses 1 video card *anyway* and so you're stuck at significantly less performance until they fix it.
Which for many games, is *never*.

Some of this stuff is a bit outdated for modern games:
Resolution - Deferred rendering changes things: many scenes are actually rendered as various snapshots to the g-buffer. It's not just the base texture that matters, but all sorts of scene information must be taken into account: pixel normal, pixel depth, roughness, specularity, material ID, etc, and many of these are rendered anywhere from 8 to 16 bits float. HDR requires 16 bits per channel for Red, Green, and Blue, which gets downsampled later. And some engines add even more layers to this for special effects like separate passes for translucency, and custom depth to, say, show a silhouette of the main character when hidden behind a rock. I counted 19 images going to UE4's g-buffer, possibly more for lightmaps, the reflection environment, and shadows, and way more for custom depth. Expect around 50-100 MB for the g-buffer alone at 1080 full HD. 4k quadruples this to 100-400 MB!
Anti-aliasing - Old MSAA required rendering pixel depth and stencils at 2x, 4x, or 8x higher resolution than the final frame which took a massive hit on the framebuffer and overall render time. However, modern deferred rendering can't even take advantage of that method. Instead, FXAA has been used for better performance at very high resolutions, which requires no additional memory, or TXAA on lower resolutions. TXAA renders random subsections within the pixels and resolves slowly over time. Unlike FXAA, which simply blurs pixels, TXAA actually results in something closer to an unbiased render, but doesn't work well on certain objects.
The rest of the space is used for textures, shaders, cache, and polygons. Modern textures are produced at a 2k size, so several MB depending on compression settings, and modern materials use the base texture, roughness, a normal map, and possibly a displacement map as well as several others combined together. It's easy to see why more VRAM is necessary to render modern games.
Old but still relevant. Thanks.

System requirements of games in 2015:
512MB of Vram is required!
Pc gamers in 2021:
Is 8Gb Vram enough?
The last of us: Of course not, hahaha
It depend on your resolution :
1080p gaming only use about 1500 MB - 2500 MB of Vram
4K gaming can use up to 6-8 GB of Vram
GTA 5 is the perfect example because that game had an "internal Vram usage counter" on the settings.
So ? if you're just 1080p gaming, you don't need more than 4GB of Vram, but if you're 4K gamers, you will need 8GB (or even more) but, people who gaming in 4K usually use the fastest card anyway, you can't play 4K with GTX 750 Ti or R7 350 card.
IndraEMC so just get the rx 480 4gb if I'm just playing at 1080p?
MegaGames yes, and if you bought reference RX 480 4GB card, you might be able to unlock that card to 8GB (i'm serious, google it), you got extra 4GB for FREE.
So should i buy 1060 3gb because my monitor's native resolution is 1680x1050 will it be enough in the next 3 years with at least high settings

So if I am hearing this correctly, high amounts of VRAM isn't highly needed but almost required if you're doing 4K or surround?
Man, I might end up getting an R9 390 for my build. 8 GB VRAM.
+AlphaLineGaming
390 is not fast enough for 4K, it has too much VRAM IMO. If you go over 5GB, then you are likely getting 30fps and lower. In 1440p the 390 is excellent tho, at 4K you may have to lower some settings to get 60fps.
4K and surround is too taxing for modern GPUS, the best GPU now for that is the 980 ti, preferably with a custom cooler to get even more performance. That GPU can barely hit 50fps in most games at 4K, so SLI, currently, is the way to go.

One of the newer guidelines is........the video card should only have half the amount of VRAM that the System RAM has. In the Windows Operating System, 3Gb is the max amount of System RAM allowed. So your video card would be limited to 1Gb VRAM. You couldn't install a GDDR4 card in your System, it wouldn't work.
