Do you think it becomes more worthwile for people who play games other than just 5 boxing wow? Say 5 boxing rift wich looks more graphics intensive than WoW.

I really wish I could give an answer in regard to RIFT. I don't currently have any active RIFT accounts to test this bad boy out on
but, you could always take the same approach that I took meaning that if you're already about to drop $500 on a video card...
what's $100 more for an extra 1.5GB of memory.

If I remember right someone here had 2x 1.5GB 580's in SLI and couldn't max the settings of RIFT and still get 60 FPS, but I
believe this was back in the beta phases and I'm sure Trion has tweaked a little bit since then.

I guess a good test would be for you to start up a single game of RIFT on the settings you'd like to play on with your main
window and see what GPU-Z reports for memory usage. Then turn the video settings down to what a slave would normally be at
and then multiply that by how many you play. Add them all together and I would say that's a good estimate on how much video
memory you would normally use. You may have to shut down the game between tests because just turning down settings
probably won't "clear" the video card's memory and it'll most likely be reporting a higher value.

I'm making it a point to keep starting new teams so I don't have to hang out with the big kids at level 80+.
