You're using a GTX 970 and aiming to play GTA V at 1080p. You won't run into VRAM problems unless you push the settings too high. Only one game has ever hit your 970 near 3.5GB in 1080, and it was a heavily modded texture pack for Skyrim with maximum settings. GTA V should look fine on PC, but its textures aren't powerful enough to strain your GPU at that resolution. That's the short version.
Absolutely, it seems like you're diving into GTA V on your PC!
M8, Titanfall exceeded the 3.5 gig threshold, and GTA V seems to outperform TF GTA V, though we're not sure about the titles. CAN WE STOP DISCUSSING GAMES BEFORE THEY RELEASE? HOW DO YOU KNOW THE TEXTURES AREN'T ENOUGH? DO YOU WORK FOR ROCKSTAR OR HAVE YOU NEVER PLAYED GMAE? And your subject is likely to spark a heated debate. Edit: Sorry for the curse words... But talking about GPUs and games is driving me crazy.
