R350 first week of March?

[Althornin]

R350 should stack up very well....common sense tells what benchmarks it would be superior in with 6+ GB more memory bandwidth.

Not necessarily so. According to the article, the R350 loses to the NV30 in Quake 3. But hasn't that benchmark shown that it is far more dependent on memory bandwidth than anything else?

I would think that that benchmark would show the extreme benefits of the extra 6GB of bandwidth, but apparently it doesn't. So I dunno...

Quake3 is heavily dependent upon SYSTEM memory bandwidth.

Don't take the word of the Inquirer as Gospel, there is alot wrong with that article...also talking about FSAA at MAX Quality...memory bandwidth.

Quake 3 is not on my list of playable games 3 years later.
