EVGA announces 512 MB version of 6800gt

It might be a first for EVGA, but there's plenty of other manufacturers with the same thing already out there.

EDIT: I don't know how much the EVGA is but the price premium of the others ones wasn't worth it. The were priced way above the 7800GTX, but barely had a performance above a regular 6800Ultra
 
Come on!! A 512MB 6800GT??? Benchies already proved that 512MB of ram had no effect even on the 6800 ultra. on a 6800GT is way overkill. And for that price?? Just get a 7800GT or GTX for twice the performance.

You buy a faster gpu that can process the textures fast enough.

Benchmarks have shown that a 7800GTX can run Doom3 maxed at 2048x1536, 4x AA, at ~45-50fps. They can't run 6x because they do not have enough vram, but I doubt any lesser card would be able to run those settings, regardless of how much vram they have.

EDIT: Much like that 512mb 6200 in the link above. That card cannot run any settings smoothly that will use up more than 128mb of ram, much less 256mb or 512mb. It just doesn't have the processing power.
 
256mb of ram helps over 128mb in those games, but not 512. See my post above. It generaly takes around 2048x1536, with 2-4x AA depending on the textures, to use up 256mb of ram.
 
"Nigel Page is a strategist with Microsoft Australia. He told APC today that Vista would work best on a video card with more than 256MB RAM, 2GB of DDR3 memory and a S-ATA 2 hard drive."

I have a friend who happens to be a beta-tester, and it runs perfectly on his 128mb 9800pro, 1gb of ram, and 40gb IDE drive. Of course, it isn't nearly finished, but I think those claims are quite exaggerated.

By the time Vista even comes out those specs might seem normal for integrated graphics!
