    What's better, 2-4MB video cards or 1-8MB video card? Some RT, but mainly MAX and 2-4K monitors.

    Wut. You mean GB? 2x 4GB cards vs 1x 8GB card. I've always been a single graphics card person. I think I have a single 6GB card - I don't use RT much at all. Two cards is probably better if you're using RT, but then having the lower memory will still hinder what you can render in RT.

      Yes, sorry, GB. I have the one GTX 960 and I am wondering if I should get another one, or sell this one and get an 8GB one.

        Depends on your scenes use a monitor like evga precision to see how much you using. Your signature has a K5200 isn't that an 8GB card?

          I'll have to double check which card my new machine is coming with. It has changed a few times, so I might have to update my signature.

                Oh, I thought you had already updated the signature so nevermind (sorry for the OT).
