speedz Posted January 2, 2003 Posted January 2, 2003 Why is the 128 meg version of this card slower than the 64 meg one? Been wondering for a while now...
Drewdatrip Posted January 2, 2003 Posted January 2, 2003 Im not positive on this one, but from what i have seen the 64mb cards have a higher RamDac then the 128 versions.=Drew
zivan56 Posted January 2, 2003 Posted January 2, 2003 You can easiliy overclock the 128mb version to the 64mb one. I would guess the reason is because the GPU is more stable when it has to address less memory.
Snoop Posted January 2, 2003 Posted January 2, 2003 ramdac are to do with TV outShort for Random Access Memory Digital-to-Analog Converter, a single chip on video adapter cards. The RAMDAC's role is to convert digitally encoded images into analog signals that can be displayed by a monitor. A RAMDAC actually consists of four different components - SRAM to store the color map and three digital-to-analog converters (DACs), one for each of the monitor's red, green, and blue electron guns.i would assume the 64mb uses faster ns ram? but the 128mb card should be faster in programs that use lots of hi res textures, at higher resolution or with FSAA should give better performance
