Palit Announces the GeForce GTX 960 JetStream 4 GB

Palit announced the GeForce GTX 960 4 GB JetStream graphics card, its first GTX 960 with double its standard memory amount. The card features Palit's fiery red cooler featured on its GTX 960 Super JetStream graphics card, and achieves its 4 GB memory amount using eight 4 Gb GDDR5 memory chips. The card also offers a factory-overclock, with its core clocked at 1127 MHz, and with a GPU Boost frequency of 1178 MHz. The memory is kept untouched at 7.00 GHz (GDDR5-effective). The card draws power from a single 6-pin PCIe power connector, display outputs include two DVI, and one each of HDMI 2.0 and DisplayPort 1.2. The company didn't announce pricing or availability.

KarymidoNit is useless for high resolutions.
Not useless in the slightest. I run at 1440p after all, and I know of people who run them on 1600p too, and they are not remotely useless just because of this 3.5GB nonsense. In fact, I ran 780's on 1440p, and even with 3GB I wasn't experiencing catastrophic problems. Mountain out of a molehill comes to mind.

RCoonSee this article. Though one thing that research outlines is that memory bandwidth is in line with GPU usage. At 1080p and below it's less of a problem.
Yes, well aware of that thread. Seems that regardless of the resolution, the bus will limit more than the vram on the 960 with 2GB. My question is about the memory bandwidth being an obvious limiting factor, making that extra 2GB of vram on the 4GB cards all but useless unless you SLI with alternate frame rendering. And if DX12 is implemented, the extra vram won't even be helpful for SLI. Do you agree or have a different take on this?

Primey_If any game requires near 4GB of vram usage then it's probably running extremely high settings which the 960 won't perform well in. What's the point of high vram on low end gpus



Stop beating a dead horse
It was a joke, lighten up a bit, lol.
