Even crysis would not take advantage of an nvidia video card with 2 gb of memory.... | |

It might. GTA IV uses 1.5 GB of memory. | |

Video memory and memory usage (RAM) in total are two things that are different.
A game can be memory heavy (e.g. bad coding, not optimised engine, console clone etc.) but use only a few low res-textures thus resulting in a large system-memory footprint but small video-memory usage and vice-versa. | |

So either GTA exagerates its average usage, or the PCI-E bus is sufficient for the texture swapping required etc. So I am still dubious if a new card "needs" over 1GB of framebuffer. | |
