But instead of a rant, I'll just bring up the topic of "Where the heck is the 1024MB edition?".
edit: but that price is no good, Club3D 8800GT 512MB card is already 210€ or that 147£ here.
256MB is more than enough for people that use lower resolutions, like ~80% of gamers. Hell, my 7900GTs with 256MB more than handle 1600x1050.
I guess thats why high end games run like crap on most systems,running with normal mortal cards.
The price of them high end quadro/firegl cards makes me shiver.
after building 3 of my own systems from scratch if I wasnt able to run a game on full settings id be pretty pissed as I dont want to play a game that constantly looks like runny eggs.
WITH THE EXCEPTION OF Anti Aliasing ETC... id run everything full texture & sacrifice some AA if it wasnt running fast enough. I still have the rare occasion where my frames on COD2 would totally kill my system even with AA etc off but hey im still running it with all the bangs n wallops.
being quite a heavy gamer. turning down graphics to me is like george bush without braincells....you either have a prayer or you dont exist at all.

I even mentioned this unlocked 112sp G80 GTS version in the other GT thread.
So...then this probably still won't topple the GTX, but will topple the GT, yet that means a revised GTX is coming?
I wonder how much those Canadian blokes got payed on the side, not to include the current GTS or GTX in their testing.... ugh..Crysis demo to boot :)
