GT220 looks ok for a physx card

Both OEM only however.

Strange they would give the 220 1gb of ram, when at that sort of memory speeds/bandwidth it wouldn't be able to effectively use all of it. Why would you need a gig anyways?

To lure non the wiser consumers. "A MASSIVE 1GB OF VIDEO MEMORY"

I can picture the TV/Magazine ads already

Wow, that's a lot of storage space

without wanting to sound to cynical, 1gb purely because ATi don't really have the 4770 1gb version out though I'm not sure thats true, I see the 512mb versions listed everywhere but not any 1gb's on a quick check.

So they'll be about claiming the only available 1gb 40nm cards, while failing to mention they have the shadow power of 1/5 of a 280gtx.

This.

It's so the high street chains can continue to rip people off - "This card is faster than a 8800GTS 512MB because it has double the memory!!!".

According to PC World...

So 'cos this has 1GB of VRAM, it's safe to say the image quality is going to be higher than say... a 4870 with 512MB of VRAM... right guys

...the better quality images you are display

That isn't even proper English...

I would enjoy ripping the head off the person responsible for that. ^

I remember having a friend (not anymore) who was the kind who thought he knew everything about everything, except that he didn't.

I remember him trying to tell me he had SLI because he had an nVidia graphics card (6200 FYI) and an nForce chipset with an integrated graphics core. In the end I just agreed with him, he would argue it to hell and back, even when I presented evidence.

Anyway, he also argued that because his 6200 had 512MB that it was "just as fast" as my 4870 - in fact it was faster "because it's got SLI, innit".

Needless to say in the end I got fed up with him.
