Post by: Grey Wolf on March 13, 2005, 08:00:55 pm: I was posting this on the basis that it was quite ludicrous. Why would someone buy a video card for $700+ that's not a professional rendering card?

no, because at absolute zero the card would not work ;) (i.e. all molecules stop moving)

now maybe a few degrees above absolute zero ;)

That would be true if this was actually developed by nVidia. Here, though, you can blame Asus, as they were the ones that developed the card and PCB.

Post by: Grey Wolf on March 16, 2005, 04:18:03 pm: You don't have to get that to get 512MB GDDR3. nVidia and ATi are both coming out with variants of their high end cards with that quantity.
