Depends alot on what your video card can keep up with, and the frame rates you can live with. Cards with more ram generally can run higher resolutions at better frame rates.

There is a break point. in resolution to memory size, normally based around four factors:
- GPU Clock speed
- Memory Controller Clock Speed
- Memory Controller Bitwidth
- Memory speed
Just to pick on Nvidia for a second: http://www.techarp.com/showarticle.aspx?artno=88&pgno=7 :: http://www.techarp.com/showarticle.aspx?artno=88&pgno=6
Nvidia had 4 different versions of the GT 440. Two models featured a 128-bit interface. The other two models had a 192-bit interface. The memory bandwidth difference between the versions is well.. astounding.
The Model with the highest memory performance was the consumer 512mb version which utilized GDDR5 memory and hit a bandwidth of 51.2gb/s
The 1gb consumer model could only manage 28.8gb/s memory bandwidth, and that extra 512mb was not enough to add any performance.
Throwing more memory at a card will only affect resolution if that memory retains the same clock-speed and memory controller..
I am wanting to know what the Highest Resolution the Game will support is. I have a 32" Monitor i Play on, and a GForce GTS450, with 8 GB Ram. I like having things smaller over a broader area...Thanks!
