If this does happen, itll be intersting just what this means for performance

I was under the impression that nvidia can't use gddr5 in it's current gpu's.

Also i am going to be a bit pissed if the improvements are more tha a few frames.

Dont blame ya there. It all dpends on if they can use it (ATI), and if they need to.

nVidia could use it, but at this point, using a 512 bus and this is pontless, and going to 256 bus makes saving costs inefficient as the pcb changes and designs would offset its use as far as costs?effectiveness goes.

I dont think itll happen, at least for awhile anyways, as whats the point? Unless nVidia threatens...

I doubt there will be big differences in FPS.... the GTX200 series currently has BOUNTIFUL memory bandwidth.

Nvidia got something right when they made the 8800GTX.... but they should have spent their resources on a die shrink to 55nm and massive overclock instead of a new architecture.... well, maybe they could have increased the number of shaders and other things by 33% or so instead of almost doubling them to make the powerhungry gtx280.

They work now. When I posted they were both giving "page cannot be found".
