iamdigitalman Posted November 12, 2005 Author Share Posted November 12, 2005 You've never heard of 512 megabyte cards? last I heard, they were only up to 256. but it's about time we git something better. just wait a while so it doesnt cost an arm and a leg. Besides, who needs that much video memory? My dad's old computer ran all the GTA series smoothly with a paltry 8mb. And the draw distance wasnt at the lowest level. Most people (who arnt gamers) can get away with 8mb or less. I know at where I work, the fastest computers, which are emachines, carry only 1mb of dedicated Vram for the intigrated gfx card, and that is plenty.

Waste Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 All these cards have 512MBs of memory: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList....Submit=Property The card you posted has a different purpose other than gaming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZAZEL Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 I doubt that any games make use of 512MB video card memory. 256MB is more than sufficient, even 128MB is. What type of RAM we're talking also has a say in this comparison, though. Some types are faster than others, and I reckon the core has a bigger influence on the performance of the given card. ~az Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf68k Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 You do know that this card is not a card for gamers, right? It's for 3D graphics and animation, for use with programs like 3DStudioMaX and CAD programs and so on. That is why it cost so much and why it needs the 512MB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mercie Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 3DLABS WILDCAT REALIZM 200 512MB AGP 8X Video Card Yeah, that right there shows that it is not the fastest connectivity. There are Radeons that are 512 and less in price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_-playero-_ Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 @player - We are taking commericial level 3d modelling, not your basic home stuff. That hurts I draw amateur blueprints with it. In other words, I design buildings and houses, in an amateur level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reticulatingsplines Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 Yeah, that right there shows that it is not the fastest connectivity. There are Radeons that are 512 and less in price. The comparison in speed between the AGP and PCI-E bus comes roughly to 10/12ths of sweet f*ck all. Bus speed is not currently - and has rarely ever been - a bottleneck in performance.
