Never knew about this till today, apparently some OEMs made custom double memory versions of ye olde GTX260. Thats a larger framebuffer than than a GTX480! A pair of them in SLI should in theory make for a very cheap and fast Surround gaming setup. Anyone play with it? |

There are retail editions of the GTX460 with 2GB VRAM also (examples: 1, 2), Paradigm Shifter has done a brief benchmark to compare the GTX460 1GB SLI vs GTX460 2GB SLI which you can find here. |

Yeah I know that!? :) Ive seen a 1.8GB GTX260 going for less than EUR140, thats cheap. No good to me as I have 2x GTX460's (1GB Im afraid, couldnt find the 2GB retail) but an interesting card. It also supports Tri SLI unlike the 460. |

More RAM may mean cheaper (slower) RAM, too. But you're right, 1.8GB + tri-SLI capabilities is pretty interesting. Any link to such a card ? |

http://theovalich.wordpress.com/2009/01/06/galaxys-55nm-gtx260-shows-palits-engineering-skills-and-a-new-goal-for-the-corporation/ Palit make them originally it seems, same guys that make my "Gainward" GLH custom PCB and super clocked GTX460's. I know they make the 2GB GTX460's too, also on custom PCB (ie non-reference) afaik. Apparently some 2GB GTX285's out there too. Interesting guys, pains me to see their efforts debunked as a gimmick or rubbish by the peons out there running at "high res" 1920x1200. They are a god send to Surround gamers. |
