ATI Announces 512MB Graphics Card

Annoyed.Gamer writes "Today ATI announced their first 512MB graphics card, the X800 XL 512MB. I have some systems that don't have more than 512MB of system memory, much less on a graphics card. According to AnandTech, the 512MB card can't outperform its 256MB counterpart and costs 50% more. ATI's favorite Half Life 2 showed the only real performance increase in the entire article. Overall a disappointment, especially because ATI for some reason didn't outfit their highest end GPUs with 512MBs, only the mid-range X800 XL."

If you wanted to say you were jealous of those who have better hardware than you, you could have just said "I'm jealous of people who have better hardware than me". Try it next time, and save the lame justifications about not noticing differences and having more cash than brains etc. Thankyou.
