Shino Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 With Gfx memory at that speed, you'll have no problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jordan Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 The GeForce 8800 series is gunna be replaced soon anyway *cries*. But yeah, graphics ram is there so that the GPU can process incoming data and such, its good to have alot however. I have 640mb on my 8800GTS OS and sometimes its not enough.

The higher the res the more GRAM you need. A 512MB card is usually advisable for displays 20" and up because they're resolution is at least 1680 x 1050 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
