There's already variation of some high-end cards sporting 2gig of vram... The future is here!*





*lol.

 

[rangers]

got to agree that ati has being very underhanded with there supposadly leaked slides, it all to throw off nvidia


but i had a suspicion that ati where just going to through more chips on there high end, and if nvidia does not do the same there pretty much fcuked

"that the bird is the word".

4870x2 has total of 2 gigs, but thats only because it doesn't know how to share... and something like 8600GT with 2 gigs doesn't count, it's there only to attract noobs

and what is this bird stuff anyways??

 

[Mad_Cow20]

[daft]

if i were the bird, i would have commited a large very flashy public suicide.....


but 2 gigs of 512 bit GDDR5 vram would be quite amazing, i would be able to run 3 instances of oblivion with that!

Why did I just read through this entire thread?

The Trashmen - Surfin' Bird (The Bird Is The Word)

[Kari]

it'll be a few (5?) years before those new episodes are aired here. if they bother at all...

so no, haven't seen it, yet. maybe I'll check the torrents...

 

[Kari]

yay youtube

 

[yipsl]

I'm old enough to remember AM radio in the Sixties. Didn't much care for surfin' or car music, though. I was 5 or 6 in the year before the British Invasion and my favorite popular song was "Puff the Magic Dragon". When I finally got my own AM radio and listened to pop, I was into the Beatles, Herman's Hermits and Manfred Man (the Fox on the Run and Ha Ha Said the Clown lineup).

That said, I knew it wasn't worth it to replace the expensively purchased 3870x2 with even a 4870 (and a 4870x2 with my monitor and CPU would be lame). So, if ATI comes up with the 5850 or 5870 in June 2009, then I'll consider getting one. It should be a nice improvement over the 4xxx series.

Thanks Zorg.

Song was in Full Metal Jacket, and "peformed" by Pee Wee Herman about 20-35 years before Family Guy. People today.....


Anyways, I wouldnt believe those nvidia listings, 2GB of VRAM is worthless.

so that's where I've heard it before. I had this wierd feeling that I had heard it before while listening that youtube clip... didn't recognise it from the lyrics though, maybe because I can't really make heads or tails out of that 'performance' :lol:

 

[aznguy0028]

lol glad to see that i wasn't the only one that thought of family guy when i saw the thread title ^^

 

[arson94]

Such a misleading thread title... but like aznguy said, I'm glad I wasn't the only one haha

That reminds me, does anybody else recognize this song from Battle Field Vietnam ? It was one of the many throwback songs in the load screen.
