NV40/45 and G70 Can Address 2GB of Memory

November 17th 2005 | Graphics Cards

A friend of ours let us know that Nvidia chips might be able to address as much as 2048MB of memory. We decided to follow up that lead. It transpires that the chap is right as we have confirmed that NV40, NV45 and G70 chips can address up to 2GB or memory.

It seems that Nvidia memory controller can handle more than we thought. We reported that R520 memory controller can address 1024MB and thought that was a big deal, but when we asked around, it turns that ATI can support even more than 1GB of graphic memory.
