I got a sink rate warning doing a circletoland during my FAA ATP . Told the computer to shut the fuck up . Examiner told me there ' d be no bonus points for swearing . Still got my ATP . <| sep |> No , but the majority holder has much more power and influence to push their agenda when compared to a smaller holder . <| sep |> Nah , they ' d be beach ball sized . <| sep |> I blame Doo Ho Choi , Stephen Thompson and Sage Northcutt for this . <| sep |> You can look at some games is 4 g b o f v r a m e n o u g h a m d s f u ryxfacesoffwithnvidiasgtx 980 tititanx . Shadow of Mordor will use more than 4 GB starting at 1080 p ultra , needs more than 4 GB starting at 4 K . Far Cry 4 starting at 4 K . ACUnity , starting at 4 K . GTAV , starting at 4 K . Even worse , take a look at those FCAT times . See all those spikes to 100 ms ? That right there is microstutter , my friend That ' s what it looks like when you try to run a game that takes more memory than you have . When you need something that ' s not in memory you need to stop everything and wait for it to come from main memory . If you are playing at 60 frames per second , a 100 ms latency works out to dropping about 6 frames . Take a look at more FCAT times , and you see the same thingpagesgeforcegtx 1070 f catframetimeanaysisreview , 6 . html . The Fury has a real problem with microstutter , especially in DX 12 where the drivers cannot optimize for VRAM utilization . Just a fact of its memory system not enough capacity . The GTX 980 is a much slower card than the Fury . The Fury is equivalent to a 980 Ti which is 30 % faster than a 980 and has 6 GB of VRAM , and actually the 980 is real close to a 970 . In general think R 9 290 X 390 X performance . Also , I think you may be confused FireStrike is a tech demo , not an actual game . It ' s literally a single corridor or a setpiece rendered at a time . Nobody ever commented on how much fun they had roaming around in that awesome openworld FireStrike . By the way , some other recent titles that will use more than 4 GB of VRAM include the new D o o m n i g h t m a r e g r a p hicssettingrequiresinsane 5 gbvramindex . html , CatalystMirror ' s Edge , and others . The number will only increase as time goes on .
