comes with either GDDR3 or GDDR4. I'm asking if the memory makes a difference in the 3870s, and how big of one. I believe the GDDR4 version is clocked about 200mhz faster than the GDDR3 on the memory, which makes it have a larger bandwidth, but I'm not entirely...

then GDDR3, so no dont base it off that. The Radeon x1950xtx had gddr4, can it beat the 8800GTX with GDDR3?? From what I have seen, GDDR4 is not clearly superiour to GDDR3 due to higher latencies. In fact, NVIDIA which has some of the top scoring cards does...

cards. Anyway, I'm trying to decide which card to get and price is a fairly important factor. I've gathered up the following choices: 2600XT GDDR3 - $100 2600XT GDDR4 - $130 2900GT GDDR3 - $170 I'm buying off of newegg, I included the prices above. I'm...

8600 GT, 2600 XT gddr3, or 2600 XT gddr4 Is there much difference between the 2600 xt gddr3 and gddr4? If so, how much? Please also know that the 2600 XT gddr3 is 5 bucks more than the 8600 gt, and the gddr4 is 20 bucks more than the 8600 GT, so yeah....

HD3870 Ice q GDDR-4 (HIS) VS. 9800 GT GDDR-3 (XFX) ? both (512MB). Hy Everyone! I m gonna go for a gammin pc!.....For that I need a good graphic card in rang of 150$'s........I am stuck in a decision b/w a HIS HD3870 Ice-Q GDDR-4 ([#ff3800]http://www.hisdigital.com/...

Will any of ATI's Partners be making HD3870x2 cards with GDDR4?. Will all HD3870x2 cards be Gddr3 while the HD3870 single GPU config has Gddr4? Why did they decide to do give the x2 card slower memory? Any info on this? . Will all HD3870x2 cards be Gddr3...

ATI HD 4850 GDDR4. I've been seeing at newegg a GDDR4 version of the HD 4850. Does anyone have a site where they have a benchmark comparison for GDDR3 and GDDR4. I would like to know if it is worth the extra 15 dollars to get GDDR4 instead. Thanks in advance!...

is a difference between GDDR2 and GDDR3. Never buy a GDDR2 card, you are not going to get better performance, this just makes a card a few dollars less and GDDR2 cards are the worst compared to GDDR3 and up. In this case the HD3870 GDDR4 is the better choice,...

So basically yeah GDDR3 is a good bit faster than GDDR2. But I don't think there is a huge difference between GDDR3 and GDDR4.... ~Physx7 Yeah, they have reached a barrier where they can't improve the latency anymore. So, GDDR4 isn't much faster than GDDR3...
