Recommend Video Card

[lambchops511]

Looking for a card with 512+ mb of ram . are there any that are 1Gig?

has to support OpenGL 2.0 . preferably an ATI X1K series .

supports dual link DVI . and preferably dual DVI heads.

Currently ATI's high end offerings can't compete with Nvidia's 8 series. If you want a high-end Ati card you could wait for the R600 to be released in march, it's supposed to have 1 GB of memory. You could also get the 512mb version of the X1950Pro if you want to buy something now.

 

[lambchops511]

nope . need something now .

does not need to be "fast" as in pixel shaders..etc.....

im interested in memory and memory bandwidth......

 

[lambchops511]

im thinking of the ATI X1650 512 card . any 1 gig ones out there?

The Geforce 7950GX2's have 1GB of DDR3 RAM.

Is this for games ?
The best memory bandwidth card out RIGHT NOW is the 8800gtx 768mb or 8800gts 640mb

The highest memory bandwidth for ATI is the 1950xtx 512mb.

The 1650 pro 512mb is too slow to use the 512mb of ram and is a waste of money.

 

[lambchops511]

not for games .

this is for a custom program . i just need the video memory for textures . do you know how fast the 512 mb memory on 1650 is?

About as fast as the 7600GS.
Example, 1650Pro in blue.

For 2D textures, it should work flawlessly though.
