Any real advantage of buying a 3.0 gig GTX 580 vs 1.5 ?

Perhaps if you were running three 2560x1600 displays. Or one of that resolution in 3D. That also assumes they use the same type and speed of memory when they went from 1.5 to 3GB.

But for this game, I would say no.

techPowerUP! has a review of an overclocked MSI GTX 580 with 3GB, didn't perform better than a similarly overclocked GTX 580 with only 1.5GB.
