Hi, have a P35X V3 laptop and just started to play around with my 2160p monitor to see what my laptop can do with its monster 2nd tier, wait no third tier now that GTX 1070 is out for laptops(GTX 980, non-M version, being the 2nd tier).
Here's a screenshot of GPUZ: http://gpuz.techpowerup.com/16/08/31/sg4.png As you can see running in 2160p resolution, it runs out of juice before I am able to hit its VRAM limit...hahaha The game I was running this is on is called Viking: Battle for Asgard. I've had a similar experience with ORION: Prelude here: http://i1177.photobucket.com/albums...er shortage for 980M_zpsywerfjjo.gif~original That runs out of juice too before I can hit the VRAM limit.
I guess what I want to know is are there any games, modded or not, that can actually make full use of the 980M's 8GB VRAM capacity without dipping below 60fps? Or was the 8GB tag just a gimmick and it was supposedly used for marketing purposes to entice buyers, like me, to get it only to find out the card will only make use of about 1 or 2GB (I've yet to play a game with GPUZ running in the background that uses more than 2GB vRAM off my 980M)before it passes out in exhaustion? hahahaha
