Indeed a good question. The 6811's are not to fond of the OC'ed 768 version of the 460 GPU's but I (and many others) had the same problem on a 1 GB OC'ed 450 so my guess it is more down to the stress on the GPU then the amount of memory. I do not buy a 480/580 just to fold, then rather upgrade the CPU to a hex and stop GPU folding.
The GTS 450 is only 128 bit, which actually makes me want to know the answer to my question all the more. Memory bandwidth did not seem to make that much difference with the cards before the 400 series. I'm just wondering if it does now, or at least with the big WU's.
