October 17, 201510 yr Do extended DSF only eat RAM? Or do they also use CPu and / or GPU memory or load?
October 17, 201510 yr Extended DSF need more or less all of it, but if your computer has resources it will only need a small amout of RAM and even less VRAM. But the CPU and GPU have to decide which sections of the additional DSFs they really need and these resources have to be transfered via the busses. Karsten Schubert
October 18, 201510 yr I am looking at the same decision. Currently have a GTX780 3GB Have a buyer lined up and looking at the 980TI.

October 19, 201510 yr Looking at the 980Ti as well. WIth W2XP and ext DSF, I now have vram approaching my 4G limit on my GTX670.
October 20, 201510 yr One sweet solution was the 6 GB version of 780 cards .... They were only offered for a few months, and then disappeared ... I have one of those in my system and it is keeping up with the high performance demand quite nicely.

October 20, 201510 yr Author I just tried ebay for one, still at £300! If I could get one for £250, I would. Problem is, go for a 980ti now, or wait until next year for a 10 series :/
October 20, 201510 yr Commercial Member I just tried ebay for one, still at £300! If I could get one for £250, I would. Problem is, go for a 980ti now, or wait until next year for a 10 series :/ The only reasons to wait until next year is if it's not in the budget, or if the current new generation is a 'dud'. Otherwise, you'll always have that 'wait until next year and get the xxxx' problem! I'm very happy with my 980ti. Jim Stewart Milviz Person.
October 20, 201510 yr Author very true. i am very close to biting the bullet ;-) If I can sell this GTX 770 4GB for £200, that will sway me
