I don't know much of DC:UO's end game, but if they do have raids or large PvP events, it's likely to be CPU-hungry, just like WoW. Most MMOs are, as the calculations needed for a large event out-weigh the graphics power needed to draw the scene.

    I suggested the 768mb version is because I doubt he's going to be running his resolution over 1920x1080. Once you start multiscreening and jacking that resolution way then I would go above that.

    I know for WoW at 1920x1080 on all ultra I never go above 500~mb's of the memory.

    Though I guess its better to be safe than sorry. So I don't know, if its worth the extra money than sure.
