Default 1.8GB NVIDIA Geforce GTX 260

How good is it? Is it worth buying?

Or should I just save up for a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 295 1792MB DDR3. Im leaning more over to the 295.

I'd go with the 295, more memory can only do so much.

Just to put it into perspective...... 1 Trillion Trillion Trillion dollars is about 2 Trillion Billion Billion times the amount of money in the whole world. Im pretty sure that amount of RAM would have gravity of its own.

I'm going to have 12 GB of memory if that makes a difference.

Overkill. Most things these days don't even hit 4GB total, let alone 12.

As for a little perspective on the 260, I have a ~800MB version, and I've never had problems with running out of video memory.

But programs will use all 12 GB of memory? Or will it use only like 4 or 5 GB at one time.

What? I'm saying all the programs you're running at one time are likely to use less than 4GB
