From what I've seen online a lot of people are quite bloody clueless about how much vram is needed for ultra big displays. I'm quite dissapointed that it appears that the 6970/50's come with 1GB Vram. Not much point playing at 5760x1200 if ya can't put even a little AA on it.

And one last one... Attachment: STALKER%20VRAM.JPG [ 39.19 KiB | Viewed 16952 times ] Basically this is comparison between a couple GTX 460's with 1GB vram and 2GB vram. There were some other games that didn't seem to have the limitation (HL2, source games). I didn't wanna put too many pics on it, but any game that maxes out with the 2GB cards tanks at any AA with the 1GB cards... http://www.overclock.net/nvidia/801683-surround-gaming-nvidia-gtx460-mainstream-card.html What can be gleaned is that vram is pretty much the most important feature of a card when being used to power 3 displays. If ATi can't get their ducks in a row, I'm getting 2GB cards, no matter who makes them, even if it's team green! |

This should have been a no brainer for a video card manufacturer who's been advertising eyefinity lol So I can see your point. |

You'll never need anymore than 640K... |

BAH, foiled at every turn, DAAMiT is stupid! They currently have no way to show how much video card memory is being used. I seem to like NVidia even more now! |

Here is a rather extreme example of 2GB not being enough.

any explanation for why the 5970 for a healthy 0FPS? |

Cuz it's only got 1GB of ram per core. 0 times 2 is still zero. |

Apparently Fuad is saying there is 2GB on the 6970. Which may or may not be true, maybe. http://fudzilla.com/graphics/item/20743-cayman-hd6970-has-2gb-ram It's another of his usual kind of no source, no pic, no clue article, as shown by the following quote: Quote: ...we can definitely say anything over 1GB is overkill, but looks good for marketing purposes. I still don't know who that "we" is. |
