    Hi

    I was just wondering how I can check what number of pixel pipelines and memory bandwidth (64-bit or 128-bit) my card has?
    How come some X1600s i have read on this forum have less than 256mb of VRAM? are there different specs of the same X1600? Thats what got me wondering.

    My X1600 is a 256mb but 512mb Hypermemory. please sort out my confusion.

    Thanks in advance

    Jeremy

    The number of pixel pipelines is fixed.You can see them in Meaker's GPU Charts.To measure the memory bandwidth, see these two posts (and follow the instructions):

    It means that your GPU has 256MB dedicated memory and using Hypermemory it takes 256MB from your ram so it makes 512MB Hypermemory.

    Oh, wait a minute, your a W3J buddy!
    ASUS W3J has 256MB GDDR3 memory (512MB hypermemory) it's clocked properly and the bandwidth is 128-bit, no worries :)
