HyperMemory performances Posted on 26/11/2004 at 04:26 by Damien
Announced a few weeks ago, the HyperMemory increases central memory efficiency when it is used as extended video memory with PCI Express graphic cards. According to ATI, with this technology entry level graphic cards might have less memory and still have “decent” performances:
An X300 SE with l'HyperMemory and with 32 MB only would provide almost equivalent performances to a X300 SE without HyperMemory but with 128 MB. So with this solution entry level graphic cards cost will be reduced and OEMs might also choose to reduce the amount of integrated graphic cards. However, an X300 SE remains an X300 SE. The graphic card maximum resolution to have a good framerate needs to be 640*480, or sometime 800*600…
