The GT300/Fermi Thread - Part 2!

i said that based on the numbers that were leaked the 470 seems to need every bit of perf. why are you so hostile?

I thought you were referring to the 1000Mhz driver leak? I'm not hostile. I just don't use as many emoticons as you do

well you def seem to prefer an antithesis over a thesis

625/1250/900...
those are really low gddr5 clocks...
5870 comes at 1200, thats 33% higher...
i wonder if nvidia clocked the mem that low to diferentiate the 470 and 480, or if they really cant clock higher...

Well isn't that the basis for debate?

Or maybe more bandwidth won't help because the bottleneck is elsewhere. It could be any number of reasons and we will know soon enough. I'm amazed that nothing solid has leaked yet. Two weeks to go.
