Waco Posted October 4, 2009 Posted October 4, 2009 1366x768? I assume this is on an HDTV? At that resolution it won't make much difference. There's a 4850X2 1 GB on sale for $140 on the forums here though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkrow21 Posted October 5, 2009 Posted October 5, 2009 At that res, 512 is plenty. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xly15 Posted October 5, 2009 Posted October 5, 2009 It would be nice to know where you live at. You can get a 4870 1GB on newegg for $150. Why pay $20 more than you have to? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheConqueror Posted October 5, 2009 Posted October 5, 2009 I would say the 1GB card , its like 30$ more for twice the memory, why not? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickosha Posted October 5, 2009 Posted October 5, 2009 ^ If it makes no difference, then that's $30 wasted. At 1360x768, I don't think the extra memory would make any difference. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddkshah Posted October 5, 2009 Posted October 5, 2009 (edited) I will sell you a 1gb 4870 for $130 Edited October 5, 2009 by ddkshah Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IVIYTH0S Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 I remember seeing a review that the 512mb and 1gb 4850's had no difference in performance at all, the gpu isn't strong enough to tax 512MB. I think Waco's suggestion would be the best one (get the 4850x2 for $140) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
