All,

Like the title of this thread states, what is the difference in performance between one video card that has 128mb or ram and another videocard of the same type that has 256mb of ram. The two examples i can think of are the Radeon 9800 pro 128mb model and the associated 9800 pro 256 model. How does the difference in ram affect their performance?

Here is a good link specific to your question about the radeon 9800 and the extra ram.
