    2GB VRAM and 5k Retina Display

    Hi all, I'm currently in the market for a new iMac, and I've settled in that I want a late 2014 or mid 2015 iMac. I've been looking around, and I was wondering if the 2GB of VRAM on the R9 M290X would have issues pushing a 27" display. I know that 4GB of VRAM would be good to have, however...
