ATI Showcases Their Latest: The 512 MB Video Card Has Arrived!
After countless rumors circulating the Internet, ATI made things official with their announcement of the "world's first 512 MByte gaming card." ATI decided to debut this innovative technology at the Texas Gaming Festival LAN party in front of their most loyal of constituencies: hardcore gamers. It was only a development card, with speeds the same as offered by the 256 mb X850XT: 520 MHz for the engine and 540 MHz for the memory. In an interview with the ATI product marketing engineer Jimmy Dinh, he said that doubling the memory was not an easy undertaking: you cannot "just slap more memory modules onto the board." Instead, the company needed to move from a single-rank design to a dual-rank memory architecture.
