  Hi,
  
  I am interested to purchase the Quadro P4000 that has 8GM RAM, but how can I know that in a year or 2 the minimum requirement won't go up to let say 16GB RAM and than I will need the P5000 at least. I want to know for sure that if I buy the P4000, I will have it at least 3 years.
  
  Best Regards

  Yan Manashirov I don't think the currently listed hardware requirements will change but let me check with the development team and let you know.

  Hello Yan Manashirov
  
  Our goal is to improve methods so that you get more and more out of your current Graphics Hardware. Though there are no such plans to change the requirements, it cannot be guaranteed that they won't change for 3 years. But as you are interested in going for a graphics card which is in the recommended specification and not the minimum one, I think you are good enough to go ahead with that card.

  Thank you, that's what I was thinking about, and instead of purchasing the P4000, I purchased the P5000, and it runs perfect.
