Confirmed: AMD ATI Radeon Graphics To Use GDDR5 Memory
 

Just weeks away from the rumored public debut of AMD's new ATI Radeon 4000-series GPUs, AMD clues us in on a tantalizing tidbit about a key technology found in its next generation graphics cards. AMD's new lineup of graphics cards will not only use Graphics Double Data Rate 5 (GDDR5) memory, but AMD also claims that this will actually be "the first commercial implementation" of the technology.

The more and more I hear about the new Radeons, the more excited I get. From what I've read, the prices will be pretty good too. If the vanilla HD4870 is priced at around the 3870's introductory price of 239 USD, I might upgrade. :thumbsup:

Ditto but I just hope ATI can get get enough GDDR5 chips to the meet the demands of the RV770XT but then again, if I did upgrade to a RV770, I most likely will go for the RV770Pro.
