I have often expressed my concerns over the lack of VRAM on high end GPU's Not only for frame buffer and >1920*1200 resolution, but also as there are games which love the extra VRAM (especially when you start adding high resolution texture packs to them).

Unless nVidia either significantly increase the efficiency of memory allocation on their GPU's and/or special editions of the GTX590 with 3GB per GPU are released your analysis will be absolutely correct.

Oh and IF special edition 590's with 3GB per GPU are released they will be very, very, very expensive
