[Praytus]

ZZF is the first place I've seen it for sale. Really wish it was a few hundred less $$$.
Thoughts?

here we go with the 1k video cards. i would like to see a review though to see what if anything the extram ram does

 

[dds14u]

I have a feeling it's not going to do much.

... yet.

More video memory gives game developers room to use higher resolution textures.

go away

I researched these cards as extesively as i could being a non tech guy and ive found 2 things. Ultras are hugely expensive and gt's are much less expensive.

the only difference tween this card and the gt i bought is its pci express i bought a 8x agp and the clock speeds are 50mhz difference and i only paid 325 for my card.

You got a 512mb 6800gt for $325?

 

[Praytus]

And this card is 512mb.

 

[piroroadkill]

Holy shit, that's way to expensive for a consumer level graphics card, f uck that in the ass.

Plus, OP, 6800gt ultra? just 6800 Ultra surely.

 

[Praytus]

Guess I was a little excited! I fixed it, thanks

256MB > 512MB

 

[blatherbeard]

ACK! my bad. lol, 256 card for 325. I told you i wasnt a computer guy! But of course you guys knew that! lol

 

[ribbon13]

Hell no. The resolutions to take advantage of that much texturing just aren't gonna happen with reasonable framerates, especially with many people dropping down to 1280x1024 LCDs. 512mb is just unnecessary.

 

[live2game]

I want 2 of those. I would pass out with the quality.

naw

 

[biostud]

it's like 9800pro 256 all over again, when 512 is actually needed the 6800 will be too slow.

Was it in stock when this thread was started? Or is ZZF just trying to stir up some hype?

 

[EightySix Four]

Could be useful with a Quadro Softmod, would smoke any quadro on the market.

 

[imported_Hi]

i wonder what the latencies are going to be for the extra memory

and for 2000 dollars you could have that in SLI :roll:
