Wait what are you saying?  I was just pointing out the 660 Ti to illustrate that 2GB does happen on 192bit buses.  I don't think that is good.  I am very well aware that the 660 Ti has performance issues when more than 1.5GB is used...

I was just poing nVidia did a weird and incomum choice here... better was to stay with 1.5GB or go with 3GB... even better they use the 256bits of the PCB with 2GB.

I think they intentionally capped the bandwidth (even so the chip and PCB supports 256bits) to not canibalize the GTX 670.

Weird.


Oh yeah that's exactly what they did!  It's funny because in some games it meets or beats a 7950, but if you turn AA on it then loses to a 7870!  In practice it is barely any stronger than the 660...
