New rumor about ATI Southern Islands

[Final8ty]

Agreed, and I also agree with Particle that there needs to be 2GB vram cards before developers will start make games that utilize that much memory.

But in the current state of gaming, IMO there's no real reason for ATI themselves to bring out a stock chip specified with 2GB of VRAM. Maybe that's something that their partners should be considering.

Agreed ! Stock 2GB off the block standard starting point is not needed ATM..

And the catch 22 is that if 2GB Vram is needed at more standard resolutions then 2GB will not be enough again for the eyefinity, high res+ high AA again.
