If your GTX295 is 1GB (most are 1.75GB) then you are fine.
The reason for the restrictions is because of the ammount of vexels used, the guy who posted that on gamespot doesnt have a clue he doesnt understand that by unlocking, which he wants, the other resolutions his memory on the GPU wont cope and will cause problems from heating of the GPU to damage on the GDDR3 on the card from trying to flush out information constantly.
In laymens terms the higher the resolution the more vexels.

it is more than 1gb HOWEVER.....The gtx295 has TWO gpu smashed into one card, EACH INDIVIDUAL gpu in that single card only have 896 mb of VRAM....so just like in GTA 4 I am wondering that prototype may only detect 896mb
SO BASICALLY THIS IS MY QUESTION
IF prototype detects ONLY 896mb of VRAM, will i still get the option for 1920x1200?
Please help

You will be fine
Since its like a mini-SLI mode between the two GPU's the game will see this.

I'm in 1920x1200 resolution with a radeon HD4890 (1GB) and I have no problemm. Maybe the game is good, but it is a shame with graphics! Looks like a game of 2005 ....
