Also, after all this time there ought to be a way to squeeze wider buses on a smaller, cheaper, although no less complex pcb.... so don't come at me with the cost effective philosophy, that was thrown out the window by GDDR4 and 5 use instead.
I dont get it.... the 256bit gddr5 4870 has an excess of bandwidth... even at 900 core I don't see improvements in even synthetics more that 1-2% by raising my ram clocks 50 mhz.
