Hello,
Sorry for the second topic but its not totally clear to me.
Some ppl say:
The higher texture resolution, the more texture ram is needed.
If you want to play tommorows games, 512 is needed. AT LEAST.
Is this true?
Because im doubting between a 8600gt 512 and a 2600xt 256 :p
The 2600xt get 700 more points @ 3dmark but i got a feeling that the 8600gt is gonna be faster in a year when games come like maybe cod5 and far cry 2 and much other demanding games.
Or is 256 really enough for the net 2 years to defeat the 8600GT, because i had a x1600 with 128 and I see its much slower then the 256 version.
(in 2 years ATI would also have better drivers)
So what shoud i take
The 2600xt 512
or the 8600gt 256 wich is 50euro cheaper in a laptop
Thx in front,
