no difference at all except in higher resolutions and of course,GTA4.HD 5670 is more of a budget card, so i don't think you will be playing at 1650*1080 or 1920*1280 or some higher resolutions.If on a tight budget get the HD 5670 512mb version as there is considerable price diff between the 512mb and 1gb version.almost 1k, i think.

Games a year from now will support dx11 and make heavy use of tessallation, something this card already struggles with. It's a great card for current releases, and older titles, but future proof, it is not.
Get the 512mb version, and save yourself some cash.

depends on your gaming resolution, psu, and how power efficient you want to be.

the 250 is faster, but needs a better psu, and consumes more power.

If they are priced nearly the same then with PSU included GTS 250 will become more expensive..

GTS250 is definitely a better performer but it'll need a good PSU too..

HD5670 won't properly utilize 1GB VRAM so its pointless to spend extra money on a 1GB version..512mb is just enough for this card..

if u'll change ur gpu in next 1-1.5yr span den i suggest u to go for GTS250/HD4850..cuz dere rn't much DX11 games floating around in the market n also ur PSU n gud enough for both cards..GTS250/HD4850 performs much better in DX9/10..

so if u can stretch just few xtra bucks for GTS250 or HD4850 den its cool otherwise go for HD5670 512mb..

4 years!!!:S Going bu the pace of today's computing world,you may be surprised by how hopelessly your config has outdated.
Futureproofing..forget it.It's not even possinle in the high end segment also.
