    The extra Video RAM will be nice (not vital, but still nice) on the 4850. GTA 4 will only let me use medium textures because of my 512 MB. The 4850 is a beast of a card, and I believe it could use more than 512 MB.

    Whatever happened to the GT727?

    Like, I honestly don't get the differences between the three: GT725, GT727, and now this GT729...

    The diffrence between the GT725 and the GT729 are the GT729 has 1GB of vRam and DDR3 memory, the GT725 only has 512MB of vRam and DDR2 memory.

    Ah...Is that it? Hopefully, it won't be priced much higher than the GT725! :)

    @Silicon

    Yeah, I think you're right. No sign of it anywhere.

    Is there any chance of this being released within the next 2-3 weeks or are we talking about months?

    I wish I could get my hands on a ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4850 1GB.
