Now obviously, there are many many games than will still run extremely well on 512 MB, i agree.
I would go ahead & say basically anyone who runs 1600x1200/1680x1050 should absolutely not worry about things & get themself a 512 MB 4870/4870.
But if you want to run high levels of AA on certain newer games, or run up @ my resolution, buying a 512 MB card is not plenty, or even adequate at all in some cases.
That all sounds good in theory, but where are the benchmarks to back this up? Why does the 512MB 4870 so easily beat the 896MB GTX260? Why does the 512MB 4870 even beat the 1GB GTX280 at 2560x1600 in some games?
