4K Gamers, How much VRAM do you have?

[W1zzard]

We're wondering how much memory people have when they are playing on 4K. If you don't game at 4K, select the last option please.

 

[Dirt Chip]

Need to add an 11GB option for those (me included) happily owners of 1080Ti @4K

My best friend, he actually plays games daily at 4k 32" VA panel and 1080 ti. Imagine buying 1080 ti on launch day, man that card just gives and gives.

I imagine with frame gen tech, newer cards will fall into that same champion slot of max usage. Pretty cool times for PC builders to be honest.

Not see 10 GB , rtx 3080.

I set all my games to native 4k (3840 x 2160) on my mini LED Samsung 43” 120 Hz monitor. I use a Radeon 7900XT with 20GB. Now many will say you can’t get to 120 fps and good image quality without Nvidia DLSS and you aren’t enjoying the sweet goodness of ray tracing that only Nvidia can provide at decent frames.

To those people I would say I have a little secret for you. I play games to have fun and I’m enjoying the hell out of my setup without RT and without frame generation/super sampling.

Moved from 10GB to 16GB because I ran out of VRAM. I book home a 6700XT 12GB briefly to see what performance was like but realistically the VRAM wasn't the issue on that card, it just didn't have the raw performance for 4K. Depending on pricing it may still be the sweet spot for 1440p though....

 

[aliceif]

RTX A4000 4K is really only possible with FSR/DLSS since despite the 16GB the raw power is missing, but it's still 4K in my book

I sometimes play Sudoku at work (Ryzen 4300U)

 

[tpa-pr]

I think i've found 1440p to be the sweet spot between fidelity and performance. I can crank my games to maximum (sans RT) and get a smooth 120-144fps. So I won't be upgrading to 4K.

But my card is capable of it so the option is always there I guess

I can only play on TV, I have no other option and when playing CoD or Wows it is still enough to 4k (3840 x 2160), but in CoH3 I automatically have reduced terrain quality only 10 GB vram.

 

[GreiverBlade]

my favorite resolution is 1620p (my screen is a 1440p base) ... i find 4K even on a 32" to be "not needed" for me
i can max out settings (aside AA, which i find a bit useless at 1440p and above) without needing FSR for most games and still get enough FPS for 75hz Vsync (another thing i don't see improvement ... above 100hz )
and some game pull awfully close to the 24gb vRAM i have at 2880x1620p

for TV, 4K is interesting, provided the source offer that res

so, need an option : 24gb, not playing at 4K (joking joking, i will just choose "not playing at 4k" )

Same here. My Gigabyte FV43U is sweet for Native 4K with 144hz. I spend so much time Gaming now it is crazy.

 

[cou60]

24 gb and 1440p. 24 is probably enough for 4k but my gpu doesn't have quite enough power for 4k.

 

[Todestrieb]

27" 4K150Hz with 7900XTX (24GB) here, with the intent of pushing as ultra details as possible while a 60-ish fps is good enough.
On games that frame-gen works, I use frame-gen. I'm very picky on upscaling results, but I can't notice artifact on the limited games that frame-gen is useful, at least for now.

Was commited to push to 4K after moving to a new place, and the 3070 semi-regularly runs out of VRAM (without compromising on textures), so I went almost ham to go for a 7900XTX. (4080 and 4090 was out of reach back then.)

 

[Yttersta]

I don't game normally on 4k but at work we have 4090s running VR HMDs and they barely cut it above 60fps in our simulator runs with 17-18GB VRAM utilisation seen regularly. We have 3090s as well but we retired them to non-VR workstations because they can barely do 30fps in our workload.

 

[Super XP]

Gaming between 1440p to 4K.

 

[Double-Click]

Still @ 1440p here.

Waiting for 4K panels (that don't suck) to come down in price.
Also waiting for mid-range to upper-mid range GPU that can swing it / provide 4090-ish performance.

 

[AusWolf]

What counts as 4K? That is, with or without upscaling?

I have a tiny HTPC that has a 6 GB 1660 Ti in it connected to a 4K TV. On contrary to common belief, it is still capable of some 4K gaming thanks to heavy use of FSR (so the render resolution is not 4K).

With my main gaming PC, though, it's 3440x1440 all the way. Any upgrade to 4K would actually be a downgrade to a 16:9 aspect ratio, so no, thank you.

 

[JoeTheDestroyer]

Still on my 2080ti, so 11GB (chose 12 in poll).

I don't need super high framerates, and I rarely play the latest games (I wait for sales), so I can do 4k w/ it just fine.

 

[MSDOS Retro]

No 4K.
Im gaming at 320x240 and lower, 640x480, 800x600 and 1024x768

 

[phints]

1440p 165Hz VRR gang checking in. 12GB working awesome.

 

[Sabotaged_Enigma]

I spent a lot of time using 1024x768 on an old CRT monitor in the 2000s. Back then games didn't have fancy models which thus didn't require high resolutions.
Entering the 2010s there came 1440x900 at 60 Hz to 75 Hz.
I entered the 1080p60 era in 2019, and then moved on to 1080p144 in 2022. But I haven't got a will to upgrade yet.

 

[ThrashZone]

Hi,
I do on occasion if I don't want to be close to the screen use my 4k t.v. instead more so than not lately.
8gb on my lappy and 12gb on desktop

 

[Arco]

Using a 4k screen with a HP GTX 1060 3GB, although this is for my TV setup for watching videos and light gaming. Can still play some games I didn't expect it run.

For my main PC I have a 4090 with 24GB of course.

My mom is using my old FO48U 4k screen with a RX 7900 XT PC that I built for her.

42" for a PC screen is my sweet spot.

 

[Arkz]

One of the most popular cards out there is 10GB... No 10GB option.
