The only reason you need that much ram is your using heavy AA and Supersampling

Regardless of how badly coded it is, do people really expect VRAM use to stay under 4GB forever? It didn't stay under 512MB, 1GB, or 2GB, so why should this be any different. Even if everything is cleaned up, the question is not if it will fill 8GB or 12GB of VRAM but rather will it still exceed 4GB of VRAM. I suspect in the next year or two we'll see more and more titles use more and more VRAM now that it's becoming more common. Just as more games are eating up more system memory and push usage past 8GB.Sorry, I couldn't wait for my "I told you so" as soon as I read the first post. And I'm on record in these forums for the last year advising people 8GB is not "enough" anymore.
AA doesn't tend to increase memory usage by huge amount as it's really just post-processing the already rendered frame since it happens after rasterization. Resolution and the quality and quantity of textures would have a bigger impact on memory usage.The only reason you need that much ram is your using heavy AA and Supersampling

Both, it's unrealistic to expect one to grow and the other not to. All memory is the same, if you use more than you have, performance starts suffering very quickly. It's why I hate swap space and the page file. If I can't run everything in memory, then I need to upgrade is the way I look at it. I'm not one to close everything I have open just because I want to play a game and I don't want swap space to hide that fact from me.@Aquinus I noticed you were saying VRAM throughout....were you meaning RAM on the larger numbers?
This game actually is a double-edged sword. Based on W1z and bta comments, it seemed to take however much VRAM was presented to it, so I suspect 4GB VRAM cards will still be ok.
The other edge of the sword was the actual amount of system RAM needed, which is what I was commenting on.

Yea probably could use ultra preset on a 4 or 6gb card if turned off AA which generally high and ultra presets do use them. I personally don't care about jagged edges since i don't rarely standing around looking at them. Its only those things I don't barely notice in the game.You couldn't be more wrong with that statement, Ultra doesn't necessarily means having x8 of MSAA, which is what taxes the most the performance of a game when you setup the "Ultra" preset of a game. I'm pretty sure the sample quality isn't part of a developer goal when targeting the final visual results in a video game, anything above x2 MSAA, heck even above any post-processing Anti Aliasing technique is pretty much a complement for more sharpness in the image.
I played all three Crysis games with low-end graphic cards and games all worked great and looked stunning. Crysis series should be as an example as it can be played on a different range of systems and it looks relatively great in all of them.But in all honesty, while Crysis is still super demanding, it looked spectacular at time and is in a way still a benchmark for visual fidelity. Mostly because it's SO old but looks like it was released a year or two ago...
Windows has a lot to do with that, I have 8 GB of RAM and when I am using only 3 GB or 4 GB I keep seeing hard faults which is kind of weird since there is so much RAM available this should not be happening .It's why I hate swap space and the page file. If I can't run everything in memory, then I need to upgrade is the way I look at it.

Gonna run this game on High @ 1080p & see if it still eats VRAM & system RAM or not.

Well if your on a 970 Nvidia recommends sticking to 1080p @ high settings
