NVIDIA to Use Hynix GDDR3 for GeForce 9800 GTX
VR-Zone has learned that NVIDIA is planning to add Hynix as a second memory supplier for GeForce 9800 GTX. All current GeForce 9800 GTX graphics cards including the overclocked models are equipped with Samsung K4J52324QE 0.8ns GDDR3 memory chips. A second batch of 9800 GTX cards is now being reported to enter the market with Hynix HY5RS123235BFP 0.8ns GDDR3 parts and different BIOS version.

very interesting thanks again malware...keep up the good work!
My eyes wanted to read "nVidia to use Hynix GDDR4.." but neah, it seems they're going to milk the GDDR3 cow till the last drop.
They are just cost-reducing the remaining stuff on the PCB even further at this point before 9800GX2/9800GTX go EOL this July. That's all.
Remember the 1ghz DDR cards back in the day, well at least the oc'd ones that hit that speed?
The latancy was lower and memory preformance is always better at lower DDR model compared to higher DDR model at the same speed. GDDR2 has lower lat than GDDR3. Though DDR2 on graphics chips im not sure of
I dont know if GDDR3 is as fast as Gddr4, but then again, I dont know much about the differences between the two and how gddr4 and gddr5 is supposed to be better than gddr3.
