ballsdeep Posted December 22, 2004 Report Share Posted December 22, 2004 Samsung stated that it will have 512Mb GDDR3 SDRAM chips for production early next year. The new memory operates on 1.8V, a .7V decrease from the GDDR2 specifications, and provides for higher clock speeds and an aggregate bandwidth of 6.4GBps. The best video cards from ATI and Nvidia currently have 256MB of GDDR3 memory. With ever increasing texture sizes, antialiasing settings and overall graphical complexity, it seems fairly certain that next generation video cards will be released with 512MB of GDDR3 memory. Perhaps now we can experience Doom 3 on Ultra mode with nary a hiccup? Read More what do you all think about this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsgolfman Posted December 22, 2004 Report Share Posted December 22, 2004 I think it's a great contest between the card manufactureres and the game developers. All this means, in the end, is that we get better technology faster and cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
