PCs putting consoles to shame again - 12GB RAM on new GPU

GDDR6 is said to be revealed by next year so might as well wait and see it could be a lot cheaper and more efficient than a GPU with a lot of GDDR5 rams.

No biggie, I have my PS3 for that and if it does ever come to PC then I'll just double dip

New consoles get released and Hermits still try to fit in pretending people care. Sorry Hermit, people are excited about the PS4 and XBONE. We cant be bothered with the "Hey look at us!" act right now.

The 12GB framebuffer seems like a gimmick.

When will you ever need 12GB? Mods? Nope. 4k? Nope. Next gen? Nope.

Triple 4K monitors of course. You know someone is going to do it.

Complete and total overkill.

Which is exactly what people said about video cards with 512 megs back in the day.

Complete and total overkill.

Nvidia are launching a GTC 780Ti model but the best part is it comes in 3 variations: 3GB,6GB and a whopping 12GB model. Putting PS4s 8GB to shame

The new NVIDIA’s flagship is much more than GeForce GTX 780 replacement. Despite the fact that reference card will only arrive with 3GB memory, it does not mean that there won’t be the cards with more memory. The rumor has it that NVIDIA GTX 780 Ti will be available in 3 versions: 3GB, 6GB and even 12GB. Which version are you going to choose will only depend on how deep your pockets are.

These kinds of cards while likely to be expensive as hell will bring PC gamers closer to legit 4K gaming

i'm calling it now, 2000-3$ for 12GB

Nah, more like 800ish. Maybe 1k to match the Titans old price point.

2.000$ priced i guess ? In a 4000$ PC

The cost of all consoles ever released plus the next ones

And since developers know that noone will have that card, will never take advantage of it

Oh and that card will be obsolete in 6 months time, will be totally useless and not even start games after 2015

PC gaming hardware is such a good investment LOL

Actually 6GB puts PS4's 8GB to shame since devs only have access to 5-5.5GB of it

12GB is overkill

Still don't get why PC gamers want to compare to consoles. I can only assume it's for the same reason people bash consoles they don't own. Insecurity.

Pick the machine that has the games you want and have fun. Personally PC gaming has always been uninteresting to me. But I don't tell you you're wrong for doing it.

Crysis 3 on PC barely reach 3 GB,so not only it will be way long for that card to get use,but also games on PC are never done with the highest end GPU in mind because legacy will kill other lesser GPU..

It's because consoles are redundant. They are poor man's gaming PCs stripped of all non-gaming functionality. Almost all of their games are released on the PC. The problem is that it's only almost all of their games, and not all of their games. Some games are arbitrarily kept exclusive to fabricate a selling point for their respective consoles. As a gamer I have to buy consoles for their exclusives, despite owning a PC that is more than capable of running those exclusives. Because they refuse to just release PC versions of those games, I have to waste an extra $600+ each generation buying additional wannabe PCs.

Forcing people to buy multiple redundant gaming platforms like this is anticonsumer. Imagine if some roads were owned by Ford and some by Honda. To drive on Ford's roads, you have to drive a Ford car. To drive on Honda's roads, you have to drive a Honda car. So now everyone needs to own at least two cars just to drive on all of the roads. I guarantee everyone would be up in arms about that. They would avoid Ford/Honda roads and drive on public roads as much as possible. Why is it not okay to hold the gaming industry to the same standards?

With the PC hardware vendors can compete with hardware vendors and software vendors can compete with software vendors on an open platform. Consumers can use any combination of hardware they want to run any combination of software they want, with very few exceptions. If people stopped supporting anticonsumer consoles, console exclusive software would be released on the PC, and gaming would actually be cheaper.

Consoles are an objectively inferior product. It's anticonsumer to make me buy them through underhanded business tactics. l2read

PC is more affordable than PC + console(s). Especially since you have to pay additional online fees for consoles. Sure consoles are easier to use, but they would be just as easy to use without holding games hostage from other platforms. They do so to sell consoles, allowing them to nickel and dime consumers with things like online fees, and to extract royalties from third-party publishers.

Convenience is not their primary selling point, and their affordability is an illusion.

System Wars not Console Wars, don't like it?, leave.
