NVIDIA Makes First 4GB Graphics Card
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.
Anyone want to put odds on the next Crysis requiring at least two of these?
All things considered, I'm glad I gave up the pc gaming habit. Consoles may not have the newest-super-duper-double-1337-hyper-lens-flair effect but they do tend to play any game made for the system without feeding it new hardware every six months.
Yes. It runs Crysis. Please stop asking. You have mistaken a short lived snide remark as an actual joke. It is not funny.
Now if anyone with an actual understanding of the architectures present here which would like to describe the actual improvement created, go ahead. But if you want to play the Crysis card, please crawl in a drainage pipe and die.

you mean you aren't on x64 yet? pfft get with it gramps!
NVIDIA still lagging behind Intel/AMD/Via... where are the programming specs? Keeping such specs hidden is an hate generator...
