The Zone

We've finally got our hands on the 8800GT 1GB and yeah, it uses lovely, lovely GDDR3. Previously we've seen only marginal increases in the 8600 GT when upped to 1GB. We attributed that to the fact that it mainly used GDDR2 and still had that 128 bit bottle neck in the memory management factor. But now that we've got the 8800 GT (a much more noteworthy GPU) with a full complement of GDDR3 and 256 bit memory interface, we're kind of hoping for a better ride.

Our resident theorist posits that it shouldn't really make much difference since we'll be testing in DX10 which handles memory much better than DX9. Find out later when the review comes out.
