The GT300/Fermi Thread

well, for the moment, under standard gaming conditions (no mods) 1 GB is enough which tells the whole story. When a game will need 2-3GB of Vram to run properly, than you will see what a huge difference high quality texturing makes.

Because right now a lot of those high res map packs are a lot of time just resized low res textures. When a game will be designed with high quality textures, made by the artists, from scratch, the quality will go way up.
