My first question is regarding video cards with GPU's actually capable of processing graphics that would require more than 256MB of memory. I was originally going to get a SAPPHIRE X1950PRO 512MB or ATI X1650PRO 512MB, but was advised that neither of those cards had a GPU capable of processing graphics that could use that ammount of memory and should just go with a 256MB card. It was suggested to me that it would be possible that a SAPPHIRE X1950XT 512MB would have a GPU capable for processing graphics requiring that much memory ("that much" being greater than 256MB but less than 512MB), but the suggestor was not sure, so I cam here for help. If anyone could let me know if that card is capable, please let me know. Thanks.
My second question is regarding ATI versus SAPPHIRE. I did a lot of internet browsing and from what I could find, the only conclusion people had were warranty value and manufacteurer support. Does anyone here know anythings? Thanks again.
P.S. I did a search on these boards but didn't find anything, but forgive me if I missed a topic about that. Thanks.
