There is the QuadroFX 4500, which is equivalent to the 7800GTX.

A tad pricey for those not on an expense account, though.

And in case you were wondering, the thing supports SLI, for a total of 1 GB
of GDDR3 video RAM. Remember the ucFX Woohoo5 parody ad? "768 MB of
RDSNVRAM. Install games straight to the video card..."

LOL, but can it run linux....



Thanks for the links. I had forgotten all about the Quatro

I've been laying the ground work for a dream system that I'll probably
start working on/towards just after Christmas

ATI X1800 will have 512MB versions. Chances are that 512mb 7800's will
appear in time.

What games do you play under Linux that'll benefit from 512 MB of video
memory, on a 7800 no less? Assuming this is for gaming, and not for
professional work.

Both nVidia and ATI has had 512MB cards available on the x800 & 6600 series for a while now. I remember seeing a review like 7 months ago.

Of course, the 7800GTX 512 is also out now. That card kicks ass.
