Hey, I came to know that GTX quad-SLI is just 2 GTX 295s, since each one has two GPUs. So total 4 GPUs. Fine with me. Gaming memory of 3584 MB is more than enough. ONLY IF I HAD ENOUGH MONEYYY...

why go for powerhungry gtx where you get way better performance by two hd5870's (if ur mb supports crossfire)? i got a rampage extreme board with two of the 5870's and it takes care of crysis like a blaze (48.53 avg framerate JAY HO)

also, u get fantastic output for vid editing and 3d rendering with my setup( procesor q9650 and corsair 1600mhz 8gig ddr3 in win7 64bit). for gaming, you really dont need chunks of mem for, say, 2-3 more years. please state your setups all discussionists!!!

2 ati 4890 in crossfire easily beats 295... that means lesser money higher performance... its waste to buy this card for this price..

Ya stupid of me to think of memory size alone... I know it will take too much address space. ATI radeon HD 4850 or GTX 260 will be more than sufficient to play all modern games today...

A humble advice: the card is beyond your comprehension. Please dont buy it, since it wont look good on fools who only know just one aspect of 3D accelerators, i.e. the memory size
