I know. Nvidia have a huge habit of making there comparison graphs looks absoloutely one sided. It's hardly an increase, but they just make it so long.

VRAM is not exactly a hard limit, once a GPU uses up it's onboard memory it simply allocates resources from system memory. Admittedly, this will have a small impact on performance, but it's hardly a show stopper.

Are you sure about that? the last time I ran out of VRAM on a Geforce card it pooled from the paging file on my hard drive.

Savage input lag was the end result. (BF3 max detail on a GTX 470).

Pretty sure if you run out of any system or Video memory, you page the Ssd/HDD and will always get less performance from that point

The bandwidth would make anyone cry. Nowhere near fast enough for a good gaming experience. Go big or go home
