Maybe then I can help James Cameron edit Avatar 2.

Yeah, Mars 2. A very good but stupidly overpriced card.

I had to lol about the shipping cost. This VGA card is clearly just an e-peen show off. Atleast it has an SLi connector so you can use 2 of these monstrosities incase you feel 1 just won't do the job...

I can't see what on earth you'd need that for, other than letting your friends that you have too much money.
"lesser" cards can run games at a perfectly beautiful, let alone enjoyable, level.
Let's talk in a few years when games might actually require 3 gigs of ram on a video card.

Nobody "needs" much at all to just play games at a "just fine and enjoyable" level. Originally Posted by manbeartruck

What's the big deal? Old card by now, nothing new, it's good, it's expensive, a graphics card manufacturer decided to go overboard with the newest gen hardware, who'd have thought?
Besides when you start playing games over huge multi-monitor resolutions, or just desire absurd framerates (Although I have no idea why anyone would want to go beyond the vertical sync), or desire tons of AA/AF, these cards actually DO have a place. They don't just frame lock every game they run at 60 regardless of settings - they don't, even these cards have challenges - and thus they have a place in the world of enthusiast hardware. They actually DO allow someone with a lot of money to get even more FPS out of their gaming rig using the settings they wish to use.Last edited by Mythricia; 2011-09-21 at 10:09 AM.
I don't know half of you half as well as I should like, and I like more than half of you more than you deserve.

That's a nice video card you have there, would be a shame if something were to... happen to it.

I can see why it would be interesting to discuss/inform people of, but damn. This is the 2nd thread today and the 3rd thread total that I've read which has been about this video card (where the other thread is, in fact, moderately old.
OT though, I definitely wouldn't mind owning one (or 2), but I wouldn't pay the full price for them.

2011-09-21, 10:15 AM #18DeletedI'm not at all disputing the fact that there is a market for it, but personally the added pricetag for a thousand bucks for an extra 5 fps just seems.. overkill. But then again, people should spend their cash like they prefer. I'm not trying to judge. It's like buying every piece of 378s on the AH to run normal 5s. Originally Posted by Mythricia

The question is... Will it blend?

Of course, but a lot of people like overkill :P Originally Posted by manbeartruck
