One last time before I press the buy button, GTX 470 vs the 5870

But what about:

This is where reviews get confusing. Although the frame rates in the above chart look optimistic to me! :)

I thought there was some benchmark that showed the 2gb to be slower than the 1gb in certain benchmarks

I believe 2GB Vram gives you a extra -2-3 frames at 1920 res rather than 1GB Vram.

I believe where you gain the extra Vram is at a higher res ie: 2560x1600

Im sure another thread will be created soon for all of us to discuss this in more detail:rolleyes:

I got the Powercolor 2gb version last week kicks ass and dont worry it comes with mini DP to DVI conectors :)

While it is true curently there are only one or two games that beniffit from the extra ram games like Metro and GTA 4 the odds are more games will do in the futuer

Atleast thats what i'm hopeing :P
