The graphics core of this new card runs with 512 processors and at 800 MHz, down from 830 MHz of the overclocked 1 GB version, but the memory (128-bit interface) has been brought down from 4500 MHz to 1600 MHz. The dual-slot cooling component integrates a 70 mm fan.
There was no information on pricing, but we expect street prices to check in at well under $100 and closely compete with existing 2 GB 7750 cards, such as Gigabyte's GV-R775OC-2GI (850/1600 MHz), which are hovering around the $100 mark.

Last I checked tomshardware showed that the difference between the 2GB and 1GB versions of the more powerful 6950 was non-existent in most tested situations.
Was thinking the same. Big memory is wasted on low end cards since they dont pack a punch to run resolutions that require that much memory.
texture memory is stored on gpu or in ram?
now, my brothers comptuer when i maxed texture sizes on a 4850 in some games creates an ungodly ammount of mouse lag, but the same settings for everything else, but less texture sizes, mouse lag goes away.
if thats the case, this card is fast enough to max most games at 1920x1200, with reduced lighting details. texture size could be maxed at this point and over all make the games look better.
VRAM. It's possible to run out of VRAM and have the game start caching to system memory (which is slow in comparison to VRAM) or to the hard drive. Caching to the hard drive is extremely bad.
It is highly unlikely that this will be a GDDR3 version. If anything, it's probably DDR3, not GDDR3. GDDR3 generally in't used anymore.
Betcha it ends up on on Best-Buy's shelves with their employees peddling it as the next greatest thing.
