OP OP L Lord Mythirion In Runtime Messages 241 Jan 22, 2008 #12 How much of a performance difference will I notice between the 256MB version of the HD 3850 and the 512MB version?

freestyler105 Golden Master Messages 7,883 Jan 22, 2008 #13 It depends. What resolution are you planning on running games at?
OP OP L Lord Mythirion In Runtime Messages 241 Jan 22, 2008 #14 maybe 1680x1050 if I get a new screen, but probably 1280x1024
freestyler105 Golden Master Messages 7,883 Jan 22, 2008 #15 The 512MB might be worth it then. As resolution increases, you're going to need more VRAM to hold textures, etc.

OP OP L Lord Mythirion In Runtime Messages 241 Jan 22, 2008 #16 yes, well, it wouldn't make much difference on a 1280x1024 screen then?
MikeReiner Golden Master Messages 5,055 Jan 22, 2008 #17 1280x1024 is a high resolution. For newer games, you want the 512 mb version. I'm satisfied with my 8800GT, and would recommend it if you want to spend the extra money.
