Palit is making a gtx580 with 3gb of memory and possibly surround on one card..

Well they are if you want to decrease the memory amount. But that’s not what I’m talking about.

Let me explain it to you simply: I was speculating whether this would be a simple ROP/memory ratio change, or if anything else would change. Such a high-end card might lend itself to more exotic changes.

Nvidia decreased the memory when they made the 8800gts 320mb and 8800gt 256mb cards and everything else remained the same.

surely nothing else will change on the gtx580 as card makers simply add more memory all the time.
