512 MB Video RAM

[Deleted member 169154]

I have not found any official test on when 512MB vram becomes a bottleneck. My monitor runs at 1680x1050, and I do not think that 512MB would ever be a bottleneck, but I am not sure.

Anyone seen when the 620MB, 768MB, or even 1GB becomes neccesary?

Hard's review today said it would only be a problem for SLI, and that DX10 games will come to increasingly benefit from memory capacity. But I'm also wondering on what memory flavor to step up to.

h;s review said at above 1920x+ the 512 is a bottle neck in SLI

So the trend will likely be, if you want 1920 x + resolutions and eye candy, the 512 will start to affect your FPS on cards like the 8800GT and GTS, and soon the Ultra cards with newer DX10 titles coming out
