Wonder if there are benchmarks around. Might be a better buy than the upcoming v3 8800GTS depending on price. I might get two of these to game at 1920x1200.

More memory wont speed anything up, 512mb is enough for the time being.

64x AA, anyone?

It might actually be useful on crysis at 1920x1200.
I wonder how it would compare the the 8800GTSv3 with 1GB of ram.

 

[n7]

While more memory is great & all, it's not going to help a bandwidth crippled 8800GT much.

C'mon nV, release the real beasts already...

One really nice thing about 1GB VRAM is to use 4xAA, Vsync+3ple buffering

 

[Quiksilver]

If the 8800GT was 512 bus with 512MB vram this would make more sense but its not.

Unless you're running 64bit Vista, then you're only going to be left with addressing space for 1.5GB of memory. Somehow I don't think you want that.

Correct me if I'm wrong but that doesn't sound right.

Tis true. XP generally only recognizes 3.2-3.3GB out of 4GB system memory when you have even just a 256MB video card installed. So if you toss in 2x1GB VRAM it only leaves about 1.5GB of address space for system memory.

 

[taltamir]

XP can address a maximum of 4GB of ram on the system memory, graphics memory, and various address reserved for various peices of hardware... so every extra bit of ram lowers your preceived system ram...

Anyways, upgrade to 64bit vista fool... (said in MrT voice and meant to be humerous, not insulting)
