My vote is with games like crysis, that extra 320 megs of video memory is going to make a HUGE difference.Raggamuffin0
My vote is with games like crysis, that extra 320 megs of video memory is going to make a HUGE difference.Raggamuffin0I doubt that.. It will most likely be the proccesing speed of the GTS that makes it lagg before the memory capacity on normal resolutions, as for all other games currently released but you never know and I wouldn't spend 200$ too find try it out wihout knowing beforehand....

Bioshock recommended a 512 mb card and you clearly didn't need it. You're 320 will be fine, and if it's not, it's not due to the memory. You sound giddy to buy a new card, go for it if you want, but going from a 320 to a 640 is silly.Zaber123
Well, i have the exact same question as the OP. i'm playing the beta at 1280x1024 everything on high but the shadows wich are set to medium, also, it's playing with a mod from the official beta forums to all of the .cfg files in the installation folder, an it's looking impressive, even better than w/o the mod, also it's running somewhat smoother (even though my 320 is paired with an x2 4800+). Of Course, it's still running on dx9 and no AA, but i'm happy that a simple mod to the config files makes such a good improvement (at least for me), because i'm thinking crytek will make it run pretty good when it retails.
Still, all this apply to dx9, and we really don't have any idea how will it run on dx10 for now, the only thing i can tell you is that in my opinion the 320 will run it pretty good at 1280 and 1440 in dx9 (i'm 80% sure though). and yes, i'm scared too because i want to play this game in dx10 at least 1024x786 2xAA high/very high settings....
We're already seeing a difference with games like World in Conflict and Bioshock. The GTS 640 manages to hold its own, but a GTS 320 is getting lagged up pretty bad.codezer0
Huh ? I can understand what your saying about WIC but the 320 had no problem with Bioshock. Anyway about the topic, i'm already playing the Beta on highest settings @1280*1024 and it's relatively smooth with a few hiccups that can be ironed out so im pretty sure the game will run fine in DX9 max.
DX10 I have no idea, but my feeling is that alot of the DX10 cards are gonna struggle at highest settings. Could be wrong tho.
