Upgrading to BFG 8800GTS 320mb...

[Hyper]

Hey All,

My Sapphire X1900XTX just sold for a very good price on that well known auction site so I have decided to treat myself to a BFG 8800GTS OC 320mb, now the question is will I see a vast improvement over my X1900 which had 512mb of memory.

I game mainly at 1680 x 1050 which makes me believe I may struggle with only 320mb of memory but i have been assured by others that it should be fine. I just wanted to see what you lot thought.

I mainly play Battlefield 2, Counter Strike Source, Colin McRae Dirt, Test Drive Unlimited and Tomb Raider Anniversary but will also be testing World In Conflict when it becomes available.

Has this been a wise move or one shall I regret.

Here is the rest of my system spec:

Intel C2D E4300 @ 3ghz
2gb OCZ Platinum Rev 2 PC6400
Hiper 580W Modular PSU (yes I have read about them failing before you start)
Gigabyte 965P-DS3

Thanks a lot, Sam

Yes I know I said that, you quoting it doesn't really help, I asked for your opinion not mine

Thats the reason I went for the 320mb, I am using it as a stop gap until 6 months down the line when I sell it for probably £80 and buy another £200 card, would rather do that than spend £300 every 12 months.
