Seriously, if the graphics engine is just a better version of Skyrim, why does it need at least double the VRam?
Inb4 the game is just terribly optimized and we'll get patches that will make it playable on lower-end PCs in a year, like with every other Bethesda game.
Still stupid though. Hopefully someone will make mods to downsize the textures to vanilla Skyrim size or something.
I mean, the card has 4096MB of "total avaliable memory" but only 1024 of "dedicated video memory".
Apparently I need 4GB of the latter, though. Ugh...
