256mb of memory is useless in Pre 6800/X-800
« on: August 11, 2004, 06:41:57 PM »
Extensive Doom III benchmarking has proven that  even at higher settings the extra 128mb of memory does not help the 9800 pro any . Does a 2% performance increase justify 50USD extra? Not even for flashing to the 9800XT , as the 128mb 9800XT bios is not to hard to find.  
  On the other hand , The 6800 256mb has up to 20% of a lead on its 128mb sibling , this can be attributed to a core that was MEANT to use ALL 256mb of that ram, rather than one unwillingly strapped on a board with extra ram as a marketing ploy .

for a game that was 'Meant' to use 512mb of ram, 128 and 256 hold up just fine .  We can also see that the BETA ati drivers help boost DIII performance a bit and ATI promises 'incremental' increases in OGL performance from now on .

point : for PRE X-800/6800 cards , get the 128mb version , it  is better [ and cheaper ] to get the 128mb version of the card.  And in some cases.... the 128mb cards are FASTER  [ by that same 2%]
