Hi,

Some one on top of this list asked what would one do with so much RAM on
a video card. When you are doing professional work you do need it. 
1) It supports higher resolusions at True Colors(24bit)
2) When the graphics get bigger it acts as a cache for display thus
faster.
3) In 3d rendering applications this cache is very helpful.
