Two new slides published by VR-Zone shed light how the RV770LE graphics processor manages to do that, and there's a surprise: It was earlier known that the RV770LE comes equipped with 480 stream processors, and one of the earliest reports even suggested that it could have a narrower 192-bit memory bus. The slides published, show that the new GPU could carry as many as 640 stream processors, double that of the RV670. It comes with a proper 256-bit wide GDDR3 memory bus. Also included, is hardware support for 24x custom filter anti-aliasing (CFAA). It is also known that the new card is gearing up for an October 21 launch and would be priced below US $150. AIBs would be able to sell custom designed cards right upon launch. While the new GPU does look "tougher" and more equipped than expected, here's something to ponder: with twice the amount of stream processors as the Radeon HD 3870, as projections suggest, is it going to be only 10% faster than the 9800 GT?<img src="http://www.techpowerup.com/img/08-09-27/83a.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://www.techpowerup.com/img/08-09-27/83b.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></blockquote>
