    Is that a bad thing?

    I remember people going over the 1.5 gb 560m vs the 2 gb 560m and I believe it was Striker that show why the 1.5 gb 560m is actually 192 bits whereas the 2 gb 560m is only 128 bits, so does this mean that the 485m is only 128 bits?

    If so is that concerning or does not matter?

    Thanks

    No its 256bit, it has twice as many chips as the 128bit 2GB 560m, but each is half the density.

    So same capacity but twice the number of connections.

    You can tell by the ram amount.

    1GB or 2GB = 128bit
    1.5GB or 3GB = 192bit
