Kaftan Barlast Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 More memory allows it to store more textures and therefore render faster.

Baley Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaftan Barlast Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 Come to think of it, given the nature of bump/normal/displacement mapping, Im not shure wether it relies more on GPU clock for realtime lighting or if its Memory heavy to store the textures.. or both.

Child of Flame Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 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> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
