No need to be sorry - just keep the nonsense to yourself... Not running out of VRAM with 1280 on max??? If you play on 640x480 with settings on low you may be right. Ever even tried to run on max? Because I and some others DO run out of VRAM http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthread.php?t=33540
This is also brand independant - as I run both ATi and nVidia cards...

Even with engine fixes - in 1 or 2 years this issue will be back! Get VRAM. 2.5+!



Just one piece of general advice: just set a limit of money you want to spend and get the best card over all for the money.
There are way too many fanboys and pseudo experts involved here - your best bet is to read general reviews on tech sites.
Both brands are really very much equal - it's +/- 10% typically. It's not worth the fuss about it really.
