"One of the guesses is that both GPU suppliers wait for GDDR3 to arrive."

I guess for GDRR3 you mean GDDR5

"...wait for GDDR3 to arrive..." is history repeating itself

Why not pour some money into smaller fabing (45, 32...etc...) and use that smaller sized transistors, less heat and power consumption to produce a 130523510000000GTX ULTRA MEGA-103314GB GDDR102140 in 2401 with 129 shaders!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG!


....laugh.

Crysis clearly showed that some games are CPU bound, so this article is not completely true.

CPUs are also a bottleneck, and single core solutions haven't progressed that much in the last 1,5 years.

This is a very long article to inform us that:

"ATi/Nvidia MIGHT be going with GDDR5 instead of 512-bit memory interface to lower their costs, widen their variates and improve their memory bandwidth, hence improving their performance"

This is good news actually, but the MIGHT part makes it totally useless and just a way to pass your time. "Like my posts all over the internet "

GDDR3 @ 384bit wide and 2.2ghz is not going to be dramatically slower than GDDR5 @ 256bit wide and 2.5ghz as announced by Qimonda @ IDF.

So a bit of caution in predicting miracles, because the real results are likely to be not nearly so impressive.

GeForce 8 supports gDDR4.

What does the 8800ultra use?
