Higher clock or more ram?

There's nothing wrong with my math. I suggest you reread the previous
post. He comments on the difference in Mhz of two old 386 Intel CPU's,
and in the original post he asks about the memory and GPU frequency of
two similar 1950 Pro cards and asks if the difference in speed is of any
real consequence or is more dediacted video ram better.

A RAM increase of 1.45% of course refers to the increase in frequency
from 1380 to 1400Mhz.


THAT IS THE SPEED OF RAM, and not the amount. DUH!

And thats what was being discussed if you were to actually read the posts.
Perhaps you better leave the discussion with bigger words for the adults.

How are these two cards simular?
AGAIN 256 X100%=512. DUH!

100 percent has a decimal value of 1.

For your equation to be correct, it would have to read as follows:

256 x 200% = 512

I don't think their will be much of a speed increase. Most games don't
require more than 128MB, so much of the RAM goes to waste.

Good for the DRAM companies however, selling us on the 'more RAM means
more FPS' myth.

Shop on clock speeds, pipelines, RAM interface width. Worry about the
amount of RAM last. If it only costs a little more to go to 512, do it.
But shop on a bang for the buck basis.

Read the posts, moron.

For 95% of the current computers users out there, having 512MB of graphics
memory will not make a difference.
But in a few years having 512MBs might get you a few dollars more when you
sell it.
Also I'm sure the xpertvision's GPU (chip) can overclock from 575 MHz to
higher then 581 MHz.

Have you checked out the HIS X1950 PRO cards.
One of them comes with a 620 MHz GPU.

Hello newsgroup,

I finaly decided to get a card with a x1950 pro chip. But I don't want
to spend much on it. I am torn apart between these two cards:

palit/xpertvision RX1950PRO 512 mb ram

and Asus EAX1950PRO 256 mb ram


the former has more ram, but clocks at 575 mhz (chip) and 1380 mhz
(ram)

the asus clocks at 581 mhz (chip) and 1400 mhz (ram).

So, what is more important? More ram or higher clock?

Thanks Rob for straightening out the mathematically challenged ;-)) *or*
256+(256x100%)=512. 100% of 256=256 *not* 512 sheesh -
