4GB video card? What possibly could you do with this since applications that utilize spare GPU processing arent out there yet?

4GB really isnt that overkill. Just for playing a simple computer game, crysis, there is a need for 1GB+. If you plan on playing on a 30" monitor, youre going to need a 2GB frame buffer.
4GB is alot, yes, but it can be needed for some insane 3D apps.
And the frame buffer size is meaningless towards the physical processing power of the GPU. Yet, thats a high end workstation card, so im sure its quite good.
And there is a few applications that will use your spare GPU time, but theyre generally poorly coded currently, and are in beta.
8GB or bust. Chumps.
i think mine has 64mb… And it the most you could get when i got the computer…
Man when I got my laptop a few months ago and got 512MB or DDR3 I thought that was sick. I have yet to have a problem playing anything not maxed out yet.
The difference is you’re playing videos and watching movies.
that card is for designers/movie makers/simulations… AKA Pixar doing 3D movies and rendering them; Gas companies doing 3D maps of the underground; People doing high-end 3d Engineering/Analysis (aircraft, cars, etc).
HUGE difference in requirements Vs gaming.
lol i still have 256 … lol
I’m at 768MB… with the FX4600…
They’ll get there. Remember when Gates’ said “No one will ever need more than 640K of memory for a personal computer” ? Gordon Moore then had a chuckle.
that would be terrible for shading and real time lighting… like has been said it’s a graphics rendering card.
actually, it would probably be pretty good at real time lighting calculations… shaders though, I agree
I wish all i would need is a GPU, but damn everything gets out dated so fast im sticking to my Xbox360!
