Personally, I would go with 4GB or higher. Even Netflix 4k streaming has acknowledged 2GB is simply inadequate. Running madVR would be on the bleeding edge imo and why strain it even if it worked satisfactorily. Many madVR settings would simply break down due to lack of vRAM. Ripping speeds would be sloooooow. Low fps titles might manage but higher probably wouldn't make it. In the case of GPU's, you really do or don't get what you pay for even if you're not gaming and just using it for A/V. This late in the year, if you're considering getting a high end card, I'd wait for the new Volta GPU's due out in 2018. Otherwise shop out a 960 4GB or 10xx 4GB or higher. Fwiw, I didn't upgrade the 960 for the simple fact the 1060 didn't offer me anything the 960 didn't except it's a newer generation and more expensive. I don't game. Above all, make sure what you select 100% hardware decodes. Never put a 1050 2GB through its paces. Not many have according to google searches. So, to answer your question, maybe..... but I doubt it.
