PCI-E 16x, 640 MB GDDR3, 512 bit memory bus, 24 pixel pipelines (2x 12
pipe GPUs), FP16 and FP32 support etc.



maybe we will get 512-Bit memory bus with R500 & NV50 or R600 & NV60 ?

...matrox had special cards with 512bits memory acces... but no Z-compression
or other tricks used to make cards run faster..

And those cards never because interresting...sure a few idiots bought them
"512bits..that is ****ing fast" ..but benchmarks proved otherwise.... it's
fast to it's memory..sure... but not optimal...
