Thats a pretty big assumption there, they`ve "switched" to 512bit a LOOONG time ago, yet its only the second card from amd to have 512bit bus and between the 2900 an 290 (o shesh i just now made the connection with model numbers) is a pretty big time gap.
Anyhow, is there even one scenario when 8gb is REALLY needed ? I doubt 4gb is used 95% of the time.
