What's the difference?

So I just ordered my XFX 4850 1GB video card yesterday, and I was just wondering what the major differences are from the 512MB to the 1GB version?

The extra 512MB of VRAM is the difference. You won't see any real major performance boost at low resolutions compared to the 512mb version, but if you have a 1900x1200 or 1920x1080 screen you'll get better performance. Same goes for if you have dual monitors.

Basically more screenspace needs more VRAM.

it means if youre playing gta4 on pc you can go twice as long before the memory leak causes it to crash

memory leak what the (expleative) is that?

Edit: wikki it makes seance :)

_div theres no memory leak for most people, lol.

I can play infinitely, on my 8800gts 320, even though it caps me at horrific graphics

My ATi card is also XFX
You might get more stable minimum frames?...

its better.. thats all you need to know :D

Perfect response. that is exactly right.

lol
