Is there really a need for 3 gigs vram when some people only have 2 gigs of ram in their PC's lol. And it's HUGE :shock:

only 2GB?! :P

but seriously, get 3 of those in a tri-SLI setup and you got 9GB of VRAM. ridiculous.
also, it's been a long time since i seen a Gainward card for sale around these parts. last ones i saw were the GeForce 5xxx series back in 2004ish.

Yeah this is pretty much a Eurosnob video card, if such a thing didn't exist before, it does now!
