Is 1GB VRAM enough?

I don't need more than one gig

can you get 2gb 560ti cards, I've never seen any for sale.

Palit make them

EDIT: that's GTX 560's

 

[KiiYzOo]

they start at like £200 and I'd rather get a 570 for like £30-£40 more

 

[chrisarm]

Because I have yet to see any 1GB cards in SLI/CF being able to achieve very few lag spikes in the metro 2033 benchmark. 560 Ti 2GB SLI got less lag spikes than your heavily overclocked 560 Ti 1GB SLI was already a good proof. You should counter me with better selected pictures, but it won't hide the very first picture you posted.

Was just that I saw this and it talks about 2gb 560ti's and I'd never heard of them

 

[KiiYzOo]

you have to go elsewhere for them

they're meant to be direct competition to the 6950's, according to harmony anyway

thought someone was doing a blue peter with some double sided sticky tape ;p

 

[KiiYzOo]

we need more vram, as harmony says that we'll see something that our eyes can't detect!

 

[chrisarm]

Ah right I'll get myself a 8gb 5670 instead of the 1.5gb 580 I was gonna get then ha ha

There isnt a single game out there that can cripple 3 1 Gb 6950s in tri CF, proof that you currently dont need anymore than 1 Gb Vram. And you dont even own a GTX 560ti you liar.

I'm inclined to agree for 1920x1200 or lower, that is until someone plays at a very high resolution. Some games will still be fine, some won't.

need one of these nvidia 6gb quadro 6000 sdi

we're talking about 1200p

Woops.

Mind you, thinking about it, 1200p wouldn't make the situation any different from what I said in the previous post.

To max out GTA 4/EFLC you need more than 1GB, i can't think of another game offhand.
