Gt545?

[zigzag03]

Anybody seen this GT545 card from EVGA?

EVGA 015-P3-1545-KR GeForce GT 545 Video Card

Compusa is selling it on their shelf for $150. It has 1.5g GDDR3. Can anyone advise the ramifications of 3 vs 5 GDDR?

I'd never heard of it and Comps website is discontinuing it. But there a bunch of them on the local store shelf. That may be all i need to know, but thought i'd throw it out there, thx

As far as I know, thats an OEM only card. But anyway, for $150, you'd be much better off with getting a GTX460 for 6850. They are significantly more powerful.

I don't know why that video cards exists with 192-bit 1.5GB GDDR3, 144 CUDA Cores and 44 GB/s bandwidth.

It's barely better than a 2 year old 128-bit GeForce GT 240 512MB GDDR5 w/ 96 CUDA Cores and 54.4 GB/s bandwith.

I had the feeling it was something like that. Indeed i had looked further after posting and found several other cards for that money that would be much better. thanks for the input.
