World's First 2GB Graphics Card Is Here

Posted by timothy on from the way-too-much-overkill dept.

An anonymous reader writes "TUL Corporation's PCS HD4850 is the world's first graphics card to offer on-board 2gig video memory. The card is based on RV770 core chip, with 800 stream processors and 2GB of GDDR3 high-speed memory." That's more memory than I've had in any computer prior to this year — for a video card.

    Somehow I don't think that those two billion transistors will be cool.

    How about games with good gameplay and bad graphics? Those exist too, and they are better than games with good graphics and bad gameplay.

    Here's a novel concept: developers should strive for both graphics and content! That's just crazytalk...
