So where is the market for 512Mbit GDDR3?

As hkultala said, Fuad's confusing the increased storage capacity/density (Mbits) of the Samsung RAM with the still-stable external and internal interfaces (bits) between RAM and GPU. Follow the link to the RAM and you'll see it's 512Mbit (= 128MB) per chip but still with a 32-bit interface. You'll note that current cards with 256-bit buses have eight 32-bit RAM chips; 128-bit buses use just four 32-bit RAM chips. These new Samsung chips will allow for 8 x 128MB = 1GB RAM per GPU for 256-bit-bus cards. I'm sure someone will have a use for it--even games, as I think one of the Unreal ppl said you'd need 1GB on the video card for full effects--but it's still a bit overkill for current GPUs and games.

Edit: Cripes, Xmas, what was I thinking about when I typed that?! I've greyed out the stupid bits.

The German ATi Office sure has a sense of humor. Look at the color of the t-shirt from the loser and the shirtnumber. And of course they have to add that the X800GT wins a reward on a nVidia fansite on the frontpage. :D

Interesting that someone still can win even when he's more than a year behind.
 
This thread has been split now - the discussion concerning Hardware Analysis' benchmark of the R520 can be found here in the 3D Companies and Industry section.

Edit: NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!

Stupid, goddamn bastard forum software!!!!! It's deleted the bloody split! Oh for the love of God!!!! Arrrrgghhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!
:devilish: :devilish: :devilish:
*sob*
 
The split thread moved where exactly? I can't find it, or did you delete it all? I'm sure ATI wouldn't mind. Or have I just spent to many hours behind my PC and typing in replies to forum posts regarding this that I totally missed it? I need sleep, get me another coffee please.

Sorry Sander - it looks like the split didn't work. It was definitely not intentional; the move was attemped to ensure that the content better matched the thread title and first 20 or so pages, plus to move it into a more appropriate section of the board (namely 3D Companies & Industry). Unless, by some miracle, it turns up somewhere else on the forum, it looks like all that length debate and explanations have gone.

I feel pretty crap right now...

Nick, tell me you got a backup, people spent hours (I sure did) typing those posts up.

Okay, I can appreciate your feelings over this but if you spent hours typing 4 posts, then you're either very slow or very, very about choosing your exact words! If we do have a backup, then I don't have access to it - only Dave (and probably Marco) will have, and if it has been saved, then we'll get all of the relevant comments into the link I mentioned earlier as soon as possible.
 
Good thing I didn't refresh and have been busy all afternoon. I have page 23, 24, and 25 (sassen's original comments and 3 pages of commentary) saved out of my cache and on my desktop, if anyone wants it......
 
I just realized that I can't add the html itself to the thread. So I msg'd neeyik to see if he wants the zip with the three pages. Maybe he can merge them into the new thread since he's an admin.
