9800 pro every time, higher ram and core speeds are worth far more than extra memory.
Think of it this way
Would you rather have:
3Ghz CPU with 512MB PC3200 RAM
or
1.5Ghz CPU with 1G PC2700 RAM
? |

When I read a review on a 256MB card on cnet.com they said that the technology isn't used on todays games :conf: |

Afaik, doom3 and hl2 are the only games currently that would make any use of video ram above 128, but as I said, those games would benefit MUCH more from more memory and core speed.
a simpler way of clearing this up to to look for benchies between the 2
(pic from a different thread, so the highlighted bits mean nothing here :p )

Proof enough for me :)
Futureshop has it for 50 bucks off, unless I find a cheaper place that's likely where I'll be heading for it. |
