ITS TIME FOR SHERLOCK TO BE RELEASED !
so the letter "G" before the letter "h" on a keyboard. could it be HD ? BUT below "D" is "C" so does he mean gc ? graphics card ... You can play every game with an 7970 or a 680 at the highest setting so YES !
SHERLOCK DID IT AGAIN !

On topic : If you're talking about memory, no, you dont NEED more than 1GB to play new games, but you will get some micro-stutter in certain titles if you bump up the AA and resolution.
