How Much G RAM ?

[Iron_Chef]

Assumeing using a 8800GTS
For gaming at 1680x1050 & 1600x1200?

What is the recommendation 320mb or 640mb?


Thanks

640MB of ram would be better for higher resolutions like the ones you mentioned

It really depends on the textures used in-game. 320 is plenty for almost all current games at those resolutions, but if you can afford it I'd go for the 640. 512 has become more or less the standard, so it stands to reason that developers will start using it...

as for the textures well the higher the setting the better I guess (I usally turn them up as I high as I can unless I see a real slow up in performance)
