Wow, looks like nvidia did something smart...for once
Good idea too, limiting Oc'ing by having 2.0ns ram.
Gonna be hard to find a 1.6ns company.

What ns mem does ATI XT PE use?
or the regular XT use?

Now that's what I'm talking about!

Gotta recoup the cost for those massive chips somehow if your buying them, and 2.0 ns is easily available and much cheaper (comparitively) than 1.6 ns, which is also a low yield deal still. While not a smart move in some ways, it was one that seems forced by the market.

What do you mean Limiting overclocking? Do you know that 2,0ns translates to 500mhz ddr = 500x2= 1000mzh!!! And then they overclok it to 1.1GHZ!

The GT comes with 2ns ram. Which run at the default speed of 1000mhz or 1GHZ, So wont it be better to simply get a GT and overclock it to 1.1GHZ? LOL

I got my GT to run at 1190-1200.

I've yet to see a "regular" XT on the market yet, at least not in AGP. All the x800xt PE's I've come across, including my retail BBA x800xt PE, uses 1.6ns DDR3, which is no doubt making it so hard to get these cards out to the market.

Well I guess this could explain some of the reports of artifacting on games like Doom3 even with stock clocked cards.

im pretty sure evga's ultras are 1.6 ns ram, its on there website so should be true

[Bigjakkstaffa]

A lot of the hardcore overclocker types are a bit "wee wee'd" off about only getting 2.0ns memory. Still, its not like 2.0ns is particulalrly slower
