How much is gddr5

Actually, all this bandwidth is almost useless. Look at the , roughly the same perf as the so what's the point to have gbps throughput?? Now that memory makers have oversupply and are being forced to cut prices, all they have to do is massively increase the newer memory type's price and presto: there's your high margins back Fabio Actually, all this bandwidth is almost useless. Tests do seem to suggest Turing is more memory-limited than Pascal so increaing the bandwidth may have merit.

GDDR5 does seem to be on its way out though, so that may have effect on that price difference. Seems appropriate to me. Prices drop once development cost has been clawed back from charging early adopter prices. Fabio well, I guess that gddr6 is just an excuse to maintain a high price for the gpu.

Higher memory bandwidth is always welcome. It helps a lot for a smoother and more fluid experience. There are some very Bandwidth-heavy scenes in most games that tank the performance harder if the memory bandwidth is not good enough.

And now they have to found gpus to put them on and not only that but on the card that can still sell. Previous Next Sort by votes. Jun 25, 41 0 1, 0.

Obviously not all GDDR5 costs the same for the same amount, since different modules can operate anywhere between 3 and 6 ghz effectively or even higher , so I'm not looking for exact prices.
