List of known/suspected games to eat more than 1GB video memory at 1920x1200

Do you truly believe in the numbers from anandtech? It would be funny to see how 580 SLI is beaten by 6950 CF in certain games then:

Different GPUs again, and also the frame rate is not unplayable on the 1.5 Gb cards even at those figures (the average seems to be over 30 FPS). Also, I trust Anandtech more than your copy paste OP from another forum:

some games perform better with Nvidia hardware, other perform better with ATI.

I believe what I see with my own 1 Gb GTX 560s though, that is in a lot of cases that are reported to use more than 1 Gb Vram, I see no lag or slowdown.

Compare 1 Gb and 2 Gb cards with the EXACT SAME GPU and clock speeds if you want to create an accurate comparison, and show the 2 Gb cards providing playable 30 FPS+ gameplay in instances where the 1 Gb card cannot. I really wonder why any such comparison of 1 Gb vs 2 Gb 6950s hardly shows any difference if 2 Gb is meant to improve performance.

civ V eats up 1280mb on both my gpu's with everything maxed

Thats good to hear then, this is a game I play fully maxed out with 8x AA, and it works completely fine with FPS constantly over 40.
