RAM of the Graphics Cards
Hello guys,
Was talking to a guy in a shop and he said to me that amount of RAM on a Graphics card is basically a trading trick - in fact it doesn't matter whether it's 128 or 256 Mb. I didn't agree with him but since I was on his grounds, I just nodded I went off. Though, I can say that everytime I updated my video card, I always could say a difference - not very big may be, but still quite noticable.
Can you second his opinion, or may explain me a bit more about RAM on Graphics cards?
Thanks,
Yurich

BTW, I'm not sure what "trading trick" means. But if this dude is intending to imply that more RAM is worthless, he's misinformed and that is probably why he's working at a computer shop.
If you tweak right you can match the performances of 128 mb and 256 mb but this is very relative. More ram on the card sure boosts the performance. A v4 engine and v6 engine will take you to work fine, but a v4 wont win a race.

>>but a v4 wont win a race.
Not really a good example. In fact many 4-cyl engines have won races even against V8s. Since this is May, check your Indy 500 history. The 4-cyl Offenhauser engine was a very successful design for many years. It won many races against V8 powered cars...
