Video Card Memory Analysis: 256MB vs 512MB

It’s so difficult to choose either way really. You could buy a 256MB card today and it would most definitely serve you well for a year or two, but on the other hand there is no reason not to get a 512Mb card other than price. The performance increase 512MB offers over 256MB is here today in game we all play and the gap will only increase with the next generation of titles, think UE3 and you’ll get what I mean.

Personally if I were looking for a new video card to last me a few years I would not even consider a 256MB card. If you’re like me and seem to have a new card at least once a year or less, don’t worry too much, 256MB will do you fine.
