Of course, this comparison was done for gaming purpose and not just for display. I agree that basic cards can support 30" displays... But can they play games at max graphic settings?
Anyway, this article was for letting people know the best memory size for 8800GT which is 512MB and putting 1GB on 8800GT is similar to putting 512MB on a 8600GT : waste of money
