Does the dual 256-bit memory interface make the card run faster / utilize the 512MB ram more efficiently? Ideas?
 
what are they clocked at?

thats just gigabyte being a foo'

a foo' in which one should pity, you may even go as far to say:

I pity the foo'!
 
I think the Nvidia referance is a typo, rest states ATI & pic is ATI logo.

Not buying one or anything like that, just curious as i havent seen dual 256 bit interface before (cant say i really looked for it).

More curious, if the cards were identical if anyone knew how much performance boost a dual v single 256 bit interface would give.
If it can be done on a one card, why wouldnt you do it on new top of the range cards?
 
From their own comparison chart, more a choice of Vivo/ddr3 or no vivo/ddr2.
Tough to say which would be better ddr3 or ddr2 and dual 256bit bus? woud have thought they'd both be 256bit dual though tbh. gotta love the clarity of the info provided eh :rolleyes:

Love the Nvidia bit too, Using Ati chips now are they :p

Probably because they have 512-bit internal ring bus.
