Waco Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 I'm not seeing the point when the $200 cheaper (at minimum) base 3 GB card performs essentially the same. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IVIYTH0S Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 I'm not seeing the point when the $200 cheaper (at minimum) base 3 GB card performs essentially the same. by the time the 6GB would be fully utlized, the GPU's strength itself is likely going to long have been bottlenecking performance.

ccokeman Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 Video cards are not always about gaming perf. GPU Acceleration of applications is a way to utilize the additional memory. I will be looking at adding in some tests. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

d6bmg Posted September 29, 2012 Posted September 29, 2012 Paying $600 only for 6GB of mostly useless display memory is complete madness. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
