Well I'm building a new system for my son(gaming, FF11) and he is itching
for a 256 mb card. I told him he didn't really need it but was looking
anyway. I can't see popping for a top of the line Nividia chipset either.
That's why I'm at the 5700. Maybe I'll look at the 5800's

Duh I found them. Does anybody make a 256 mb version? Looks like Asus
skipped this version.


What would you expect the 256mb version to give you? Look at any
review, the $400 cards gain nothing for having 256mb over 128..., the
avg is 2fps - and thats when the card is already running 120+fps,
you're not goingto see it.

A mid-range $200 card gains nothing.
