Simple question.... Why?
Might make a difference at very high resolutions but I'd say it's probably just an e-peen thing. If this card is smaller, combined with lower power draw/noise it might be a good buy though, if the price is right.
Undoubtedly it's just a bigger number for the less tech savvy to sell more units :rolleyes:Quote:

useful for gpgpu cuda/opencl etc
high resolution/texture quality + vsync etc.
Depends if thee is enough bandwidth to utilise it though.
Probably more of a future proofing thing really
Indeed.Quote:

Semi-useful, as above.Quote:

There's also a GTX 560 Ti card with 2GB instead of 1GB. I'm not sure any of these cards yield better performance over their standard counterparts but at least they provide bragging rights for those who buy them.
