Not really. Played any games like Doom 3? The ultra high texture setting will use all 512. I beleive Quake 4 actually had even higher res textures. Oblivion can use a GB I believe (It may be less at 768 - I forget)

You can run the really high res textures if you want on a lower mem card, but it is really slow to swap that info in and out over a PCI-E or AGP bus. Not recommended.
