The GT300/Fermi Thread - Part 2!

IIRC, not all the RV770s had high power draw on idle (4850 used GDDR3).
So it's not the chip itself, but the memory controller that couldn't put the GDDR5 in a lower consumption mode.

True, but you couldn't underclock the GPU at all. RV670 runs on lower than 300 MHz. I remember some people run on even lower voltage and clocks
