    New New video card How much better will it be with 4GB of ram

    The more vram, the better. Next year the newer cards will probably have ~8GB of vram, and game designers will be taking that into account. The "2GB of vram is enough" argument is silly. It's enough now, but it is absolutely short-sighted to believe that it will be enough down the road...
