Haha... no 2560 benchies? Weird.

Seeing some decent gains with 1900x1200 and high amounts of AA, would just expect the gap to further widen at 2560x1600.

16Q benchmarks lol only if you plan on frying some eggs on your GPU and listen to the sweet joy of 100% fan noise.

In addition to 2560x1600, I'd have liked to see more games used too.

i can see WIC is pretty starved of video ram at hi rez, the extra gb helped quite a bit. but other games not as much.

Just don't use one of these on XP32 unless you like having 1.5GHz usable system memory.

:p

It's pretty dumb not to benchmark a 2gb card at 2560X1200. Why would one consider buying it, if not for the uber high resolutions gaming!?

Yeah, the review site needs to be able to afford a monitor that can do 2560 b4 they can test it.

Wow, a horrible "review". No 2560*1600 or GTA IV benchmarks, probably exaggerated AA settings in 1920*1200 in Crysis and 2 GB RAM + 2.66 GHz CPU used. Meh.

OTOH, I don't expect wonders... Looks like nothing this round will be compelling enough to upgrade my 280 :/ GT300 better come on time.
