I'm planning on getting a 7800GT PCIe x16 for Christmas. Looking on newegg, they all run around $300-$350 so I was wondering if there's any difference in memory speed between the IHVs? For example, does one use 2 ns ram and the other 1.6 ns? And what about type of RAM? Do they all use GDDR3?
Lastly, do all the 7800GTs have the TMDS transmitter on-chip so the 2D quality will be the same? Is the on-chip split and used for both connectors (for the 7800GT) or is there another TMDS transmitter used for the other port? I noticed the VGA connector on my current 6800 outputs subpar contrast compared to its DVI.
Thanks.
