  1. Hmm You mean 3GB GDDR5 + 1GB DDR3 😉 New nV feature to cut down performance lol

  2. Oh my god would you stop with that already. Jesus fucking Christ, that’s all people talk about anymore. Hop on the 3gb bandwagon. Nobody is complaining about the titan x only having a 256 bit memory bus width, with 12 Gb of VRAM, the bottleneck doesn’t get much tighter than that.

  3. Uhm, it’s 3.5gb actually. If you’re gonna troll, at least make an effort.
