6800 Ultra 256MB vs 6800 Ultra 512MB - WHY!?

[David_L6]

256 512

Core clock 425MHz
Memory clock 1100MHz
Memory
bandwidth 35.2GB/second

512

Core clock 425MHz
Memory clock 1050MHz

Looks like all the other specs are the same.


Don't know what the price difference will be......

probably close to $800. kinda stupid to me, as no game out can use its full potential. perhaps animation studios, but i'm sure they have their own specific v/cards they use.

Doom 3 on highest settings was planned for 512mb graphics cards wasn't it?
