Jetway to launches 8800GT and 9600GT with 2Gb RAM

jmke · 27th March 2008, 16:54

Both cards are using GDDR3 memory clocked at 1,800MHz and the 8800GT has its GPU clocked at 600MHz, while the 9600GT is clocked at 650MHz. There's actually very little that's exciting about these cards except the fact they come with 2GB of graphics memory, which in 99 percent of the cases will be useless for these cards.

what would the only benefits be in a game? field depth?

nope. No benefit whatsoever, it's pure marketing, 8800 GT / 9600 GT sweet spot is 512Mb, anything more is waste.

1GB doesn't do anything yet.... so 2GB still isn't going to do anything.
