lol, i never knew that ^^ but yeah, not all games can take full advantage with 1gb VRAM (in mid range cards that is), then again, most HD 5670 reviews that mentioned it's not worthed for a 1gb GDDR5 on a HD5670, which is good for me though as im in a tight ass budget at that time..lol..512mb GDDR5 for me.. also Fallout 3 and Crysis areinsanely memory hungry games with all that texture and graphics stream of open world madness ^^
