ATI Radeon HD 4000 Series discussion

they better do this or we see the same thing that happens with the 9800gtx.

Well, the memory hasn't had a significant affect on the benchmarks thus far (20% increase is from 20% core clock increase). I'm assuming the memory speed is bottlenecked somehow, but I have 0 experience in GPU memory bottlenecks and what instigates them

Eeither way, these will fly on LN2, run on air, and make breakfast at stock (Yes these will be hot).

@Cadaveca, there should be 1GB GDDR5 versions out later, and frankly, the GTX 260 not having 1GB does not escape it from the same criticism. I do, however, find your comment a tad juvenile. The increased speed on the GDDR5 modules does help in its ability to process textures faster than GDDR3 at the same memory size. That is why we have memory bandwith, and it does account for something

Yeah that's odd, especially since the performance difference is still only around 25% even at crysis with 8xaa, the memory seems to really only make a 5% difference (performance gap goes from 20% to 25% once you hit the max details) and only with max details.
