ATI's RV670 can beat R600

This will probably be the first time in history that the part with narrower memory controller (256-bit) will beat wider part (512-bit), at least in some tests. We were told to pay special attention to titles that are heavy on longer shader code. Expect that Radeon HD 2900XT will speed pass through RV670 in all tests that require heavy bandwidth load, such as FullHD (1920x1200) or XHD (2560x1600) variants. Bear in mind that AMD will push for multi-GPU configurations for these users, and if you opt for a single-slot board, it should be no problem to put 2-3-4 boards in the same system.
