oh and tribaljet has a point on bigger VRAM doesnt mean performance... before go and buy a somewhat 1GB GDDR5 with the thought "oh, 1gb GDDR5, more power"..rubbish.... most GPU nowadays cant handle 1gb VRAM yet...and i mean the mid range cards.. basic for GPU buying guide, make sure the GPU can support the extra VRAM...
for example..the HD 5670 / GT240 with 1gb GDDR5 is a rubbish product juz for commercial act / brag from the company... as in fact their GPU cant produce enough power to process that much.. except for HD 4870, 4870 x 2, GT460, GT 480, etc..etc...which IS a high end GPU which can in fact can support and give boost when pair up with 1gb or more VRAM...
