Yup. Even at 1080p, I think BF4 will go over 2. And that's with DX11. Using Mantle, I've gotten as high as 3.5.
The light... welcome. Also feel free to check on reviews of games that show it as well. If buying new for 1080p Ultra gaming, 3GB would be my minimum at this point.
This 980 overclocks very well.
I was tinkering around and had no issues with +700 mhz on the ram and + 200 on the core clock w/ tdp set to 115. It gets up to about 63C if i set the fan to scream, but it's easily designed to handle much more heat than that.
3dmark @ stock was 10400 and with these settings it was 11903. Run it at stock clocks for everything i do though as nothing remotely needs this overclock that i currently play right now.

It's possible on standard BIOS without additional adjustments as it's running boost clock higher than what you set manually. Check power limit and voltage in ASUS soft or Afterburner but best results are always on modified BIOS. On the other hand if you are using it for games then I see no point in overclocking this card.

Nope. No need to. It's just a temporary card . I won't tinker around with it because I am eventually gonna sell it

Honestly I enjoy tinkering and overclocking more than gaming. It's never enough. Must push for more clocks

Just a "temporary card". You must be a hard-core gamer if you can't live w/o gaming long enough to wait for your 980 GTX.
When you think about it though, all gaming video cards are temporary, because the only thing that differs is how long that
temporary period lasts.

I couldnt agree more
If you are not focusing on 1-3 titles per year that are not optimized at all and require hardware upgrade to play at high details or you aren't thinking about 3+ display setup then gaming PC can easily last for 3 years. Most games base on old engines and are designed to work good on PC and consoles at the same time ( we all know how bad are new consoles ). Something like GTX580 is enough to play most titles at nearly max details on 1080p.
Do I?

BF4 at 2560x1440 Ultra default uses 2.5GB. At 1080 that is well over 1.5GB. There is no way in the world I would be using a 1.5GB card with cranked settings on 1080p. Now, with lower AA, sure... but that looks bad too.

I remember when I bought my 6950 the GTX 580's were outrageously priced yet all they had was 1.5 GiB of VRAM? Did they have any 3 GiB variants?
