Diamond Announces 2GB Graphics Card

Upcoming PC games like Crysis and Unreal Tournament 3 will certainly be pushing even the best hardware to the limit, especially graphics cards. Which is why one of the newly announced Diamond FX 2000 cards will come in handy. It will be packed with a massive 2 GB of video memory (DDR4, of course), while the GPU is the recently released ATI 2900 XT. Although the card is mainly intended for professionals (video editing etc.), I can imagine at least a few gamers, with considerably deep pockets, who’ll invest in one of these. The card will be out in a few weeks, price unknown.

They assume graphics will be pushed to the limits, if allowed by the players.

Lol I know, its very lame

This PC cost £780 with 2.8GhzProcesor(dual core equal to 5.3), 2gigs of Ram and a Geforce 7800

yet a 8800 is worth this entire system (This is my Girlfriends PC =p)

Shessh, and my gfx card only has 256 MB xD.

But yeah, for the nextgen PC games those cards will deff help out. Sad thing, probably be around 400-700 $

If you are a professional, doing video editing and such, you don't go with a GPU ment for gaming, you go with something like the Quadros

Gaming cards are best for gaming, work station cards are for things like video editing.
Adding more memory won't give it that big of an advantage.
