The ability to increase the GPU Ram has the same possibilities, but is VERY expensive right now. a 24GB graphics card cost about $5,000 and most of that is due to who currently needs high GPU Ram. These are for Scientific Computing and Data Analysis and boy I would love to have one. Image having these on your Spark Servers and using all the fast GPU Ram?

We have a couple of Quadros with 12GB at work. They aren't really fast compared to GTX, but dat RAM makes a difference. We really need to have RAM revolution on GPUs.
