14 DAY TRIAL // There is a new video card up for sale, one that will probably leave people bemused, those who know a bit about PCs anyway.
Gainward has a new version of the Geforce GTX 680 graphics card up for sale.
This wouldn't ordinarily merit much awe, not after so many of those things showing up, from NVIDIA or its partners.
Nevertheless, Gainward really did it this time: instead of 2 GB of GDDR5 VRAM, it crammed in 4 GB.
The beast is already listed actually, for 5,995 Kronor ($878.7 / 672 Euro), on Swedish retailer Komplett.se.
There may or may not be a backplate on the rear side of the card, for chilling the extra memory chips.
At any rate, we aren't going to jump at the chance to get this thing, not just because 4 GB are a bit pointless, but also because dual-GPU AMD and NVIDIA cards are inbound and will probably have a similar price.
