I'm sure run out of framebuffer in Crysis with 16x AA at 1280x1024. A good evidence of not enough frame buffer is the 256mb and 512mb 8800GT's and 3850's, at x resolution they perform much the same but at y resolution the 512mb card is 400% faster.

I know it uses GDDR5, what I'm saying is how is it DDR (double data rate) if the frequency is quadrupled. That looks like QDR (quad data rate) RAM.
