I wonder how you cool it. laugh.gif

Maybe we'll have a peltier stuck to these RAM modules, while the GPU itself merely has a 128/256 bit bus. tongue.gif


Nah, GDDR5 needs to get cheap first. 4/5Ghz modules at 1GB capacities seem to be making the 4870 less attractive vs the GTX 260, so we need that to come down first before making the next moves.

On the other hand, a 192 bit bus, 768MB 5/6Ghz GDDR5 sounds great for a new mid-high chip. smile.gif

The lower voltage would help, I guess...... maybe they will introduce heatpipes for the GDDR5! hmm.gif

last time i used 7300gt...256mb ddr2 and 128mb ddr3.
ddr3 wins..so i think higher ddr give at least a slight increase in performance or sometimes maybe negligible
