I think that ATI has a pretty bright future if Nv continues on like this. I really expected them to keep dominating, seeing that they had 2 years to work on a new card. 192 Shaders and 24 ROP's would kickass.

As has been mentioned on chiphell, the memory clock is going to be 2200mhz for the stock config, and by assumption that means it will use .8ns 2400mhz GDDR3 from Hynix...So I imagine we'll see overclocked parts from AIBs with the mem clock closer to 2400mhz effective.
The current G92/G94 chips use 1.0ns 2000mhz GDDR3 iirc.
While I don't like it any more than ya'll, this should be at least some good news for a architecture starved for bandwidth. A 20% increase on paper will make the part look good in reviews, that much can be assumed.
That all being said, it's a pretty weak way to go about things...I imagine anyone that has a 9600gt/3800 and on up will wait for RV770 and the upcoming 512-bit gen from nvidia.

That is all.
Peace and love.
