So, yesterday i read the article Budget Battle: HyperMemory vs. TurboCache and while i was reading it i had the feeling the something was missing. So i read today the article again and then it hit me, because of the difference between AMD and INTEL systems in the path to the memory, ATI HyperMemory and NVIDIA TurboCache graphics cards can take a hit in performance, when moving from an AMD system to INTEL system, because of the difference in memory access, or more specifically, the memory latency reduction that comes from the fact that in an INTEL system the graphic cards only needs to go through the northbridge while in an AMD platform the graphic card has to go through the northbridge and the integrated memory controller inside the cpu (i'm assuming that the graphic card will deploy some sort of DMA).
the question is how much exactly is the performance hit will be?
and how can you measure this performance hit ?
