Could someone who KNOWS explain?

361122	2005-06-04 04:56:00	DDR is "Double Data Rate" . If memory has a "real clock" of 450 MHz, that suggests that the "Effective" data rate will be 900 MHz . A 256 bit wide bus transfers 16 bytes at a time, so the bandwidth is 14 GB/s . Jack, your real 338 MHz gives an effective double speed of 676 MHz . Your 128 bit wide bus transfers 8 bytes at a time, so the BW should be 8x676 MB/s . It's all rather cionfusing . . .	Graham L (2)
361123	2005-06-04 06:42:00	The 6600GT euns at 300mhz in 2d mode, when you fire up a 3d app she ramps upto 500mhz (or higher for some models) Jack, Your card is in no way faster apart from the memory controller, overall the performance of the card is quite a way behind (but then , I did tell you to buy a 6600GT). If in doubt, grab 3d mark, run the benchmark and see how your system compares to others in teh database. Just ran 3dmark2001 on a system with a 6600gt and got a score just shy of 18 000 points.No tweaks. Smokin.	Metla (12)
361124	2005-06-04 14:02:00	Oh I see - sounds pretty logical, but I only get around 7000 in 3dMark03, So there must be something wrong??	Agent_24 (57)
361125	2005-06-04 14:13:00	7000 is about right for 3dmark 2003,nothing wrong there. I rarely run it cause it bores the freakin pants off me.	Metla (12)

According to this website www.rojakpot.com it said 16.1GB/SEc so your 14.1GB/S Sound rite	Ninjabear (2948)
