_____________________________

One of the eternal debates of computer graphics is whether the speed of the card is more important than the amount of memory it has. If both are similar, how can a user choose between the two based on his needs as a gamer?

When Gainward sent us two of their newest Bliss 8600GT products we knew that finding an answer was only a matter of time. With one card being extremely fast (for a 8600GT) and the other equipped with 1024Mb of memory, we decided to find the answer to the question with one of the most popular GPUs of this generation.
