i have read about DirectX 11.2 'tiled resources' feature...
Microsoft confirms DirectX 11.2 is a Windows 8.1, Xbox One exclusive | bit-gamer.net

"Designed to allow a game to use both system RAM and graphics RAM to store textures, Leblond claimed that tiled resources will enable DirectX 11.2 games to vastly improve the resolution of textures displayed in-game. By way of proof, Leblond showed off a demonstration that used a claimed 9GB of texture data - the majority of which was held in system RAM, rather than graphics RAM."

does it means that 8GB of ram is bare min. for today gaming pc?

That is a demonstration. I doubt they want to release a game that requires 9gb ram. Not many ppl would buy

Wake me up when >50% of the new games being released for the desktop to have a 64bit version.

And on-card VRAM speed >> on-mobo system RAM.
