It looks like a really strong card aside from the 192-bit memory interface. Although GDDR5 is supposed to perform really well, even if it were on 128-bit.
768MB version = 192-bit
1024MB version = 256-bit
For every two memory chips theres a 64-bit memory controller... so 6 chips on 768mb and 8 chips on 1024mb comes down to 64 x 6/2 = 192bit and 64 x 8/2 = 256bit. Each cluster of two chips equals 256mb of memory on board...
The 2048mb version also has 256-bit memory interface thats why its not that much faster compared to 1024mb one... at least in setups with only one monitor.
Now if someone came up with a plan to increase the number of memory controllers and make it 512bit for 2gb models... well one can always dream
