it appears that you are playing devil's advocate. Your post to Carl emphasized the need for bandwidth to the framebuffer, and your post to me played it down somewhat.


I'm not advocating anything! :-) I was just calling Carl on a very technically inaccurate post.

The memory bandwidth problem is very real. Deferred shading, moving part of the memory inside the chip to eDRAM, using multiple busses, etc are all different solutions who's validity will be decided by the engineers at the 3d chip companies.
