8800gt 256mb?

[Sojuuk]

do these exist yet? I know they can but has any manufacturer stated they are or would produce any?

i ask because i never go above 1280x960 in games and i don't need 512mb to do that.

I personally would not get a 256mb card.

Save up the money and get the 8800GT 512mb.

256mb was OK in the past, but now it is definitely not OK and in the future it will bottleneck you.

the early bench marks suggest at low res, the cards perform almost identically! ive ordered a xfx 256mb for £117, most 512 cost £180 here in the UK so it was pointless me buying a 512 as i never go above 1024x768 as i have a projector for gamming and films.
