Wanted to add my experience. I had the XFX 6870 1GB Black. After loading ~50 mods I was having very frequent crashes. Tried reducing AA, settings, etc. with no effect. I just upgraded to the 7950 with 3GB of RAM after reading that mods tax vid RAM excessively. Since the upgrade I have over 70 mods loaded with no problems whatsoever. For those of you running a 1GB card and having problems you should consider the upgrade...
