We managed to learn that the yield of Samsung's GDDR-4 memory at 1 GHz DDR (marketing number: 2 GHz) is almost perfect and the yields of higher clocked parts are good as well.

And when yield is perfect, you have a domino effect of price going down enough even to fit the $200 mark for the graphics boards. In short, this means that at least 1GHz GDDR-4 will be placed on major performing mainstream and on all high-end parts in 2007.

Can anyone say... console specs suck so badly right now? For playing games in 1080p, you'll pretty much have to shell out a $200 for a graphics card and forget about expensive 720p running, DRM-burdened crap named Xbox 360 w/HD-DVD and upcoming PlayStation 3 (I expect at least 200 hate mails in my inbox over this statement). µ

Well this is what I was talking about when I said good news, cause we cud have 200$ midrange cards with memory running 1GHz .
 
well ill wait..and keep waiting... for GDDR5,6,7 or whatever..its a never ending cycle :| .... but great news..mainstream with GDDR4 sounds good :) means low end comes with GDDR3...which sounds better :)

Yup all the previous vidoes were on dx9 only. There wasnt any DX10 hardware then(even now must be only ES's i guess). Not lagged, it was running on crossfire X1900's to get good frame rates
