@jiro

lolz. nice info. i prefer coke zero thou.

[nirdle_phogi]

this of it this way
A VC that is 1G 128bit

1gig = Huge container
128bit = small hole for the bottle


A VC that is 512MB 256bit

512mb = smaller container
256bit = bigger hole for the bottle

think of the water as the data, and the hole as the BITs.


bigger container can hold more data so that leaves your computer to do other task.
after filling it with water, it can now multitask and do other work. but still there's a limit of how fast the bottle can be emptied.

but you dont really need all the containers, you need efficiency, when we play games, we usually close all running applications, the antivirus, all the programs not needed. usually dont need 1gig of data.
when we need water, we want it fast. so Getorade can give that to you as fast as it could.

Claro ba explanation?

hahah. nice bro.. so gatorade dyud pilia bro TS kun magpalit kag VC..

[poymode]

[sactus]

[handsoff241]

karon pa ko ingun ana diay na, so kung mopalit ko ug vcard palit sad ko gatorade hehehe.
very helpful! thanks
pero, what does the numbers in vcards mean?
like,
asus 8500
powercolor 6500,6000,5500,5000

ug uban pa. pero naa na man silay memory ug bit rate.
code number lang na sa ilang models or does it mean something?

[poldopunk]

these are model numbers, they basically distinguish themselves from the rest of the card. there was an article in anandtech explaining ATI's naming schemes, i'll try to explain it as best as I can...

**edit**

found it! http://www.anandtech.com/printarticle.aspx?i=3151



now on to the search for Nvidia naming.
