  • Rumor Control-Parhelia only 256bit instead of 512?

    I've seen posts here and over on other boards that the first Parhelias are only going to be 256bit and not the 512bit GPUs? WTF is up with that or is it total BS?
    Why is it called tourist season, if we can't shoot at them?

            And they read far too many rumor mills. The straight is that it's a 512 bit chip and there is NO WAY you could push 19 gb/s thorugh it at only 220mhz.

              no-one's ever suggested that the mem-clock will be 220 have they? Only the chip-clock... hence 220 is still consistent with 20ish gb/s.

                Dr Mordrid:

                because Nvidia only use 10 gb/s with they fastest chipset (4600)
                that will never have a high rendement, because 10 gb/s isn't enough sometimes.

                and you forget that parhelia will do 4 textures per pass and in one clock so it will need alot of more bandwith for doing that

                  Perhaps they just misunderstood the specs of the chip... the DDR interface is 256 bits wide, while the chips internal bus is 512.
