The one GB of memory is the amount on the PCB not the speed!

There will be a GDDR4 version. It's becoming clear though, that GDDR4 is the new GDDR2. It'll be on cards here and there, but from what I have read GDDR5 will be the new GDDR3 if that makes any sense.

I woulda thought ATI would've started breaming with GDDR4 everywhere by this point, especially on their high-end cards, seeing as it's their technology.


Anyhow - I'm not so sure I would trust ordering a card from that site, they obviously don't fork over that much detail about the hardware.

I'll wait until either newegg or tigerdirect lists a price before I have an opinion about it.
