yes I am dismissing it because it is not likely at all. above 1920 sure but at 1920 and below I have zero doubts that 1280mb will suffice for the next 2 years. if someone wants to buy a 6950 for the sole reason of having more vram than a 570 just to play at 1920 then thats their choice of course.
what happens if the new consoles are equipped with 2GB?
They should be out toward the end of 2011.
