Happens to meet an old army buddy who is having a stall at the IT 2012 fair. Hooted this card to replace my GTX470 at a very special price for paling ME3 collector item.

I'm planning to get a 560ti. Which brand should i go for? Not particular about the RMA location. Just Performance vs price considerations.

Out of touch with gfx since 260GTX. Nowadays see cards with 1.5GB to 3GB RAM but when I read reviews, all of them talk about 2-3 display sized resolutions.

If I were to game on single display 1080p, is 1.5GB enough, even for those super-detailed texture games? Skyrim with HD texture pack only needs about 1GB. Anyone knows about other games like BF3?

EDIT: LOL googled some and found an interesting link: http://www.evga.com/forums/tm.aspx?m=1381103&mpage=1

Vram usage on BF3, was right on the nose of the issue, the two 590's I had would drag, and lag out so often with 1480MB of Vram used (shown by afterburner)

Fired up the game last night for a bit.
Avg Vram Usage
Kharg Island 2003MB
Caspian Border 1957MB

Didn't play any of the others, but it was BUTTER smooth the whole time, looking forward to going back to karkand tonight!


So the point of this thread...lets consolidate all the games we know take more than 1.5GB of Vram especially and also any that take more than 2GB

So, first on the list...not that we didnt already know this.
BF3 @ 2560X1600 AVG 1980MB
Skyrim @ 2560X1600 ~ 2000MB easily modded to ~3000MB
Some useful info there.

Hi! I've got a question:

I'm running AMD Athlon X2 processor with 1gb ram and Palit GeForce 9600GT gfx card.

I was looking to play D3 on ultra settings (I also play WoW and would like to play it on ultra too)

Anyone can recommend me a gfx card? I was thinking of Palit GTX560 Ti and upgrading my ram.

Also, do I need to upgrade my processor? How much ram should I get? Last built my comp 3-4 years ago and looking to upgrade it now. Don't really use it for much else other than gaming/internet.

Thanks!

Probably going to have to upgrade the processor,definetely going to bottleneck a 560TI.
Might want a 7770.i think that would work,not really sure.

Upgrade the rams to 4GB. If budget low,go overclock. Upgrade processor if using gtx560ti? Take note of your psu too,can support gpu?
