because the memory of your graphics card doesnt matter as long as the GPU itself is weak.

this card could have 5GB memory and it wouldnt be any faster..
the shit games that need 512 MB graphic memory wont run on that card anyway lol.

thats the reason why this "gigantic" amount of memory is pointless. btw all the proper cards start with 1 GB memory today so 512 MB isnt that great anyway.. my super weak graphics cad that i bought about 5 years ago for 50€ had 512 MB too lol..

however that card should be far enou.gh for SA:MP but if you have the cash you should upgrade your PC soon. gaming is always more fun with a decent PC.

Yea on the lowest settings... lol

I had a 8600GT before i got this HD5870 and it ran SAMP like shit, but it did ran GTAIV pretty decent lol.

Anyway if your looking for a new graphics card. Look at the core clock speed and memory speed. Just because it says it has 1GB or even 2GB doesnt mean its good because all that just stands for the buffer and not for the processing speed.
