Just one thing that immediately comes to mind - there are a number of games that will refuse to even offer u the highest quality graphic textures unless u`r card is 512m (more often than not there is a way of changing the ini or something to change this u`rself - with varying results).

Now my point is, awesome speed, not allowed highest quality textures ??

One game that springs to mind is Ghost Recon III.

I'll get hold of one and test it for you

Quake 4 allows you to select Ultra settings with a card that's 256mb, so I see no reason why this one wouldn't workl

I`ve just seen an XFX 8800GTS 320m for £199.

EDIT: BFG 8800GTS 320m for £194.

Those games need a patch in that case. That much processing power shouldn't be restricted by games that think its rubbish just cos its got less memory than a MUCH weaker card. I mean come on, you can get 6200s with 512mb.

Naw it`s very true m8, I`ve got GR3 installed at home, when u bring up the gfx options u can make all the speed changes u can imagine u`d want to, but the highest texture quality is not the highest available cos my card only has 256m.

It`s patched `n stuff. I do know u can go into the settings and physically edit to get the highest textures, but if u make anymore changes ingame, u have to edit them again.
