I spend the majority of my time working in Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5. It's core, the mercury playback engine (MPE), is heavily optimized and accelerated by CUDA based cards and a lot of features and functions get a tremendous speed up and almost instant timeline renders. They recommend 1GB minimum for VRAM. The difference is well documented with the quadro + gtx580s (with 2GB+) dominating the top of the charts. More VRAM = better performance when editing.

I'm not a gamer, otherwise I'd be buying ATI cards.
Also, are you suggesting more VRAM, 2GB in this case, wouldn't help gaming performance at 30" ? I thought that was the point of it more VRAM, to help for the bandwidth of higher resolutions and screen sizes?
p.s. Haven't looked at the charts in awhile...Just noticed some SB-E's cracking the top 50!
#6 and #27 - using 3960x's!
