A GTX 660 ain't playing this huh?
it's just the textures that require all that vram. the 660 can probably handle most of the other settings on high/ultra mix

scale down as needed.
i have a 760 and i need to turn some shyt down.
i can play any game, some games i gotta go down to High on some settings rather than Ultra.
still looks good and i get way more FPS.
AA settings can be a problem sometimes, just gotta find the right one.
this "the vanishing of ethan carter" game is fukking AWESOME and its visually gorgeous as fukk. perfect game to get high and play.

I found the 4590 for $160 @ Microcenter...I guess I might have to go that route and then have someone ship it out to me
I have it. Great. Handles everything I've tossed at it.
Damn that looks beautiful.this "the vanishing of ethan carter" game is fukking AWESOME and its visually gorgeous as fukk. perfect game to get high and play.
only 20$ on steam
so I d/l'ed the 3.7gb HD texture pack for Shadow of Mordor. played a little bit with ultra textures. a slight stutter here and there, but nothing too bad. the ultra textures definitely don't look that much better than high

What card u got?..
Sleeping Dogs was the last game that i really noticed a big difference in textures from Ulta to High...they never did fix the fruit and veggies though.
some SoM texture comparisons for science:

I can't even see a difference. even the distant textures look the same. I'm going back to high to eliminate any stutter when I pan the camera
edit: ok, my methodology was fuct up, because apparently you have to restart the game for texture changes to kick in. however that makes it hard to do a direct comparison, because location and time of day tends to change. here's some new shots:
you can definitely see a difference now (aside from the differences in lighting caused by the time of day also changing). I'm still sticking with 'high' though, cause the 'ultra' stutter was kinda annoying
