It is apparently down to the consoles (specificaly, the PS4 was mentioned, as it uses ultra-fast GDDR5).

is a console port, and consoles have access to a shared area of RAM for graphics and memory. means that you need access to as much VRAM as the consoles have access to. In case, for full-on recommended settings, you need 4GB/6GB.

In a way, is a GOOD thing. For years, we PC gamers have complained about console drag stagnating our games. Those days are now over.

For about a year… Then, when Nvidia and AMD sell cards that all have huge amounts of VRAM, we can go back to sneering about how consoles are stopping gaming progressing.

All i need is GTX 980 TI or new TITAN (that uses less power than my microwave) then i can go back to my old mantra: “consoles suck and drag everything back”
At least we will have reason to upgrade hardware, mine was not for about 4 years.
