Rob 1 Posted August 28, 2002 My best friend in England said that Nvidia or Radeon were going to release their new 256 mb graphics card at the end of August.... Now personally i haven't seen any news or proof, secondly i think its pathetic considering games dont even need 128mb graphics yet. Do you think they will release the a 256 mb graphics card sometime this yr? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jester983 0 Posted August 28, 2002 I doubt that well see it this year. Its not like were talking about processer here. But who knows i might be wrong. I heard ATI is coming out with a graphics card that is better than the GeForce 4s. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kegetys 2 Posted August 28, 2002 Well, at least ATI has had FireGL card that have 256 MB of memory out for a while, and I think nVidia Quadro cards are available with 256MB setups too... But those arent really meant for desktop use. But a "256MB memory" stamp on a video card box makes many consumers think its a super fast card, so sure they are going to do it to get your $$$ or €€€ or whatever... And also make lower memory "budget" versions for those who understand that 256MB of video memory isnt really useful for gaming yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rob 1 Posted August 28, 2002 jeeze, these companies have to slow down.... Games aren't that advanced yet and i hate it how they make new processors so you go out and buy them, 1 month later they're twice as powerful. We dont have the money to constantly upgrade our computers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So they waste their money doing so... Then finding out that their old card is probably has the same refresh rate. Btw Kegetys: ive been meaning to ask you.. is that you in your avatar?
