nVidia 6800 series max memory question
Hello,
Does anyone know the theoretical maximum memory that 6800 series cards support? I am asking this to see whether nVidia may be able to release cards with more than 256 Mb memory in the near future. After all, Doom3 engine requires ~500 Mb video memory in the Ultra Quality mode, so I assume, the cards with such memory are well into design. Thanks. GT |

First of all, I did NOT use the word "REQUIRE".
Second, I indicated the mode as "Ultra Quality" which will not be available at the time of release of Doom3. Third, before saying that something is BS, confirm that it is! Fourth, for the ones who are interested, the source of information is id itself, in an interview published in the latest issue of PCGamer. GOT IT? Anyway, looks like no one has an answer for my REAL question. GT "Kill Bill" wrote in message ... "Richard Dower" wrote in message ... "GT-Force" wrote in message ...

Minor correction:
I meant that I did not say that the game REQUIRES 500 Mb VRAM to RUN at all. GT |

GT I think they saw this from your original post. - ** Quote ** After all, Doom3 engine requires ~500 Mb video memory in the Ultra Quality mode, so I assume, the cards with such memory are well into design ** /Quote ** This is my first impression from this comment above. WOW.... 500MB? CapFusion,.... |
