The first batches of VisionTek use 3.8ns ddram. Word is they will switch to 4.0ns with later batches. Given the much improved memory management on the GF3, I don't think there is a noticable difference between 3.8ns vs. 4.0ns.

I don't know about that card but my Visiontek has 3.8ns ram, I removed the heatsink to check.
Gainword is a respectable company though.

Shouldn't impact performance out of the box, but the 3.8 should help overclockability of the RAM.

4ns => 250 sdr => 500 ddr
3.8ns => 263 sdr => 526 ddr

standard is 460 out of box, just like the GF2 Ultra
