NVIDIA Makes First 4GB Graphics Card

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the making-everything-else-cheaper dept.

Frogger writes to tell us NVIDIA has released what they are calling the most powerful graphics card in history. With 4GB of graphics memory and 240 CUDA-programmable parallel cores, this monster sure packs a punch, although, with a $3,500 price tag, it certainly should. Big-spenders can rejoice at a new shiny, and the rest of us can be happy with the inevitable price shift in the more reasonable models.

    Yes, ATI came out with it's new SaraCUDA card. It comes decked out in really expensive case (that somebody else paid for), has lipstick, and doesn't take any crap from Nvidia cards. If the device drivers don't handle it correctly, it has been know to throw tantrums. Comes packaged with the game "Big Moose Hunter". CAUTION - adding this card to your computer may cause your peers to have less support for your system.

    Because the die problems are with notebooks of the previous generation cards so how is it in anyway related?

    Also it's lame to post a AC pretending to be someone else because you were modded troll. Real lame.
