Well, dunno when they'll be out, but not before another 6 months. And will only become popular after an year if they come out in 6 months. Or else keep adding 6 months to that estimate. No news has talked of 512 yet.

And they'll be PCIe for sure.

If it wasnt for him, or other big delvelopers...we would be still stuck or happy with those 32/64 MB cards. People like him force the market towards newer technology.

Not for a while. Its safe to get something right now and not shoot yourself for not waiting little longer.

Personally Im waiting for PS3 and dual core to come out on the Radeons. Dont know what people have with but my 128mb 9800pro->xt runs doom 3 at ultra and HL2 just friggin fine right now and not worth upgraddin right now

ok so i've come up with two video cards for an upgrade
the ASUS V9999 ULTRA DELUXE - 256MB Engine clock : 425MHz
Memory clock : 1.1GHz (550MHz DDR
or
the ASUS AX800 XT/TVD - 256MB Engine clock : 520MHz
Memory clock : 1.12GHz(560MHz DDR

BTW, SLI 256+256 = 512, but slower than the 256mb on each card on it's own.

Likelyhood of a gaming card with 512mb on a single board coming out soon, very low. Memory is expensive, and the top end cards' memory is very expensive.

Better in most cases to have 1.6ns 256 than 2.0+ns 512mb.

However anyone could bring one out, just a question of whether people are willing to pay the premium, and in the question of proffesionals buying workstation cards the answer is a resounding yes.
But there has been nothing to show any benifits for the card even in D3 which can be run in Ultra mode on 256mb cards.
