well more is better so 256 will be good joice, game will work great on 128 but if you are getting new card my suggestion is go with 256 not because of Farc Cry but because of games that will come in future.

well it depends what graphic card you get, i know some 128s are better the 256s but personally i would get a 128 they are cheaper. its really up to you though

oke this is how it works whit GPU and there RAM if you have like say 512Mb ddr ram than a 256MB GPU would be better than a 128Mb cause it doenst have the same space to Buffer it as whit 1Gb ddr ram cause than there is not mutch difrence between the ram on the CPU and the GPU but you could better get some 512MB ram extra for around $50 only OEM trades are so cheap but they are also good and safe you $100 dollar that a 256MB costest extra so if a 128Mb cart costest 300 and 256Mb will cost youu 400 safe your self $100 and get 512 MB ram extra for 50 its just doesnt do that mutch whit the grafpics

keep it real for now

Core Clock speed is imporntant, if u bought a weak 5200 fx card with 256mb of ram, a Geforce ti 4600 would be better.

Jasper, I believe he is speaking about video cards.

[XyZspineZyX]

yes still the ram on the GPU is there to buffer it and some times its stored on it cause the main ram is full

so whit 256Mb you just have a larger Buffer/cashe notting more man

keep it real for now

Ok for one, the 256s overheat.2 You will need to pay more money to keep your comp cool. Even though you would prolly run a game better with a 256 Im sticking with 128 because its cheaper and I wont need to buy more stuff to keep my comp cooled.
