So guys would you like a 1 GB Graphics card or would you like to pay a little extra and get a 2 GB version.
Many people think of Video RAM or VRAM as " The more the merrier" but is this really true?
Lets find out!
Many manufacturers make weak GPUs with an enormous amount of vram. Just the other day I saw a Nvidia GT430 with 4 gigs of memory. Most people have also fallen prey to this marketing gimmick. Ask any of your "less hardware conscious" friends about their system specs and you'll find that they would almost always say things like "I have a blah blah processor and a 1GB video card or a 2GB video card"
This shows that most people only card about the GBs.
Little do they know that the manufacturers might have tricked them into buying say a radeon 5450 with 2 gigs of ram or so.
Finally let me answer the question!
Is vram really important
And the answer is that at resolutions like 1080p and below you really don't need more than 1GB of vram maybe 2 gigs at the most. More vram is only needed when you have resolutions above 1080p or if you are doing an eyefinity or surround setup.
Coming to lower end cards there's really no point in putting more than 1 gig of vram into them and a consumer shouldn't buy a 2 gig low end card like a GT520 or a Radeon HD6450. Don't get ripped off by the "Special Edition" low end cards that have something like 4 gigs of vram.
As far as higher end cards go,they require a bit more vram since they are capable of loading high res textures. Recently there was a 6GB Radeon HD7970. Now is this card good for a person with a single 1080p monitor? The answer is a big NO!
However If I was to ask the question "Is this card good for a person who runs 3 30inchers with a 2560x1600 resolution on each? And then the answer would be HELL YES!
In case I out of the 6gigs only about 2gigs would be used during the most intensive gameplay.
However in case II the 6gigs would find their true potential and the second person would greatly benefit from the 6gigs of vram
Bottomline
On a low end card, more than 1gig of RAM is just pointless and a waste of money. On a mid to high end card you may be good to go with 2gigs of RAM and the crazy 6gigs is only meant for monster resolutions like 7680 x 1600!
