Sapphire Radeon X1950GT – Testing 256MB vs. 512MB memory

[Jason]

When we had a look at the Palit Radeon X1950GT 512MB the other week, we
noticed that at the higher resolutions, it would put up more of a fight against the
higher clocked 256MB graphics cards, such as the Radeon X1950PRO and GeForce 7900GS.
With the new Sapphire Radeon X1950GT 256MB in hand, it was clear what we wanted to
find out - does the extra memory really come in handy? We saw that the cut back to
320MB on the GeForce 8800GTS had quite the impact on performance and it often
mentioned that 512MB can be handy on the right card as long as it had the GPU power
to back it up.
