every good game can produce perfect effects with 512 MB. Everything else is just lousy programming (Doom3 flushes garbage only once per level and it still runs fine with 512 mb) P.S. you can decrease memory usage even further with the d3 engine. Because you can unload data at every point! (They didn't because with badly managed systems, this produces stuttering)
