If fallout 4 ends up like skyrim you'll need about a million gigs of vram to use all the texture mods 
Have you played any witcher 3? The nvidia hairworks on that game just tanks performance, like 20fps+ Drop. I hope they sort that out soon. |
I have played the Witcher 3 and it actually ran really well. I did reduce the filtering etc. since it naturally does that at 4k resolution anyway, but kept the important stuff maxed. That being said, I didn't track FPS since I am not as particular in those type of games as in a shooter where you don't want to drop. As long as I don't feel or see anything, I am usually okay with it.
You are right that two 980TI's are the ticket, but man, that is a load of loot. I don't trust ATI anymore since I play a lot of old/classic PC games and their drivers were super sketchy. One driver update a game that used to work great gets artifacts or crashes and the next update that is corrected, but it is another.
Now to be fair, I haven't messed with them since trying crossfire like 5 years ago and hating it. Maybe now they are better. Just seems more like a "fight the power" purchase than a good decision on features/reliability.
