This is way better than the hexus review because we get to see how much of a difference the 1GB makes where it matters. Suffice to say, they don't have nearly enough titles that could do reach that limit, but again GRIDs performance is just astounding. I am guessing that game engine was designed for shaders from day 1

Another thing that comes off as really impressive is the power efficiency of these GDDR5 chips. Amazing! Double the ram and it only increases power consumption by no more than 5 Watts (its even less than that). If we were to go by that figure, that would mean all of the GDDR5 chips on that board combined use around 12W (5x2 + idle usage ~ 2watts maybe).

I am thinking maybe I will sell my 4870 512 and get this instead...
