May 6, 200520 yr I've always thought Nvidia would be the first...I belive they have compability for 512 on the 6800 series
May 6, 200520 yr Isnt running 2x256 on sli a similar thing? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I don't think so...as SLI is still 2 cards Tho I'm not sure if 512 will increse the performsnce much...Isn't frequency more important?
May 6, 200520 yr More memory allows it to store more textures and therefore render faster.

May 6, 200520 yr All of our info(so far) is based on videos and screenshots I belive he consideres Unreal 3 to have more detailed textures and so to require more memory

May 7, 200520 yr There's been 512 Meg Graphics Cards on the market for awhile now. However they weren't geared for gaming, but for rendering, not sure where this one's going... <edit> That's a better price tag than I've ever seen on a 512 Meg card though. </edit>
