So, if you buy a new card now, don't buy anything with less than 1.5GB memory!
There are a few GTX580's that came with 3GB not long ago. That should be about the best single GPU card you could get right now.

One more thing. Just because COD can't run SLI/X-fire right now, it doesn't mean the option should be just ignored.

So, what you are saying is that 95% of all gpu`s on the market is pretty much useless, even if its a 6970 or a Gtx 570 with 1/1.2 gigs of vram.

Wow, thats kind of big news if u ask me.


P.S. One of the tests was of the Zotac GTX 580 Amp2 3 GB. It showed that 3 gigs of vram made no differance what so ever vs 1.5 gig even at 2560x1600 res.
