Now you know why there is extreme piracy...

@ weer: But 2560x1600 is rare and hardly anyone uses it...I bet you rich ppl wont buy those screens until they're more popular...

What are you talking about, African brother? 750 US$ for the 30-incher.

Not African....I just immigrated there.
I'm trying to say 2560x1600 is not as popular as 1920x1080

usually i am convinced that there is no point in going 2 GB VRAM. simply because any card would be too slow (fps wise) at such settings. no difference between 7 and 14 fps.. both isnt playable. with this card however, there might be chance that we could see some benefits.

only exception might be gta4 which seems to benefit nicely from more memory even at less demanding resolutions/AA. read: shit engine. not to mention the extremely gay DRM - i boycott it for benchmarks

Yup. That's just about what I said/thought. And I got some back-up.

Since the first time a graphics card was forcefully glued 1024MB of vRAM without needing it because it was an entry-level card, this card is the only one that makes the ridiculous amount of memory seem cool.

Oh, and I hate the crappy porting job those idiots did to GTA 4. Isn't it fun to laugh at them?

and if even 1/10th of the people with those 30" screens want these monster cards, asus would sell out.

its not like these are going to be mass produced and sold at best buy for $2K for the next 2 years. they're a brief thing for those that want the best, and want it now.

So, you're white living in a black man's world?! White power, brotha!

Yes, and gold is not as popular as bronze. I used to have bronze.. then I gave it away to someone who wouldn't be able to use that past tense as quickly as me. Hey, if they ever came out with a 37" ~3400x2130 resolution, I'd do something else with the 30". Although, since it was refurbished from Dell when I got it, I may not just give it away. Besides, it's fucking awesome.

My.. god. You just described me. Except, I don't want it for that high of a price. No can do, huh?

This is going to be as expensive as the Ultra. Gosh, I wonder if there's someone who doesn't know what I am talking about.

Great news btanunr! :toast:

Fantastic cooler, but I think the ''all-black'' would be better.. Is there any picture with the cooler itself?

we will be adding 2560x1600 to future vga reviews. all praise zotac for providing us an LG 30"

using 2560x1600 is like going from weed to cocaine. i really really have to buy one for my desktop.

h3llb3nd4 · May 28, 2009

I will when I have cash...

those 30"ers are Frikkin expensive!!

ZoneDymo · May 28, 2009

How can this beast work with 1 x 8-pin?

I was impressed by this as well.

btarunr · May 28, 2009

That's one 8-pin connector per PCB. Two in all.

El_Mayo · May 28, 2009

i swear this thread was about a 4GB GTX 295?
now it says "Dual GTX 285"?

That's actually a pretty accurate metaphor.

Too bad they don't have such awesome deals in Germany.

WarEagleAU · May 28, 2009

Too bad its only a collector edition. Id like to see something like this for ATI cards as well.

El Fiendo · May 28, 2009

Wow. Now the only burning question remaining for me is where's the part that allows me to sex it?

The SmartDoctor app comes with a/some sliders.

h3llb3nd4 · May 28, 2009

I hate ASUS S/D...
Looks bad.... EVGA precision FTW!! :rockout:

1Kurgan1 · May 28, 2009

Another Asus innovation, seems they should almost be making their own GPU's as they also are the only company who makes 4850x2's.
