I've just ordered a Connect3D X1800XT 256MB graphics card from OcUK.
I'm happy with the price although I had to push my budget to get there - so overall looking foward to the upgrade.
My only uncertainty is that it has 256MB whereas other versions have 512MB - what I can't comprehend is what this will mean to mean in reality.
What limitations/restrictions will I see?
Is 256MB enough?
I've already pushed my budget so I can't justify a 512MB GPU now. I would like an upgrade now, but if I will find myself limited it may be better to cancel and wait a few months for prices to drop.
I'd appreciate some advice/guidance about where the 256MB limitations will start to kick in.
I have 1GB of main board memory if that has any impact.
Cheers,
Nigel
