[citation][nom]BigMack70[/nom]If this card had 4GB vram per GPU, didn't have the unbelievably gimmicky GPU Boost "feature", and were actually available, I would trade my 7970 Crossfire setup for it immediately.However, I don't trust 2GB vram per GPU to last more than a year or two, GPU boost is stupid and not a feature but an annoyance, and this card will probably be gone within 5 minutes of being listed online.*sigh*[/citation]
We've been hearing about the VRAM argument for years. It seems like the Radeon cards have always had more and even with that, for the last five years the top Geforce with less VRAM always seems to outperform the top Radeon card at the highest resolutions.
This leads me to believe a bigger factor in the overall performance has to do with the way the data are processed and not so much with how much is stored in VRAM. I'm sure the VRAM will increase over time. That much is true. So will processing speeds and efficiency. So will a need for larger disks, and so on...
