From ATI:
As far as NVIDIA?s bandwidth claims of GeForce FX?s 48GB/sec memory bandwidth, ATI states that the color compression in their HYPERZ III technology performs the same thing today, and with all of the techniques they use in RADEON 9700, they could claim bandwidth of nearly100GB/sec, but if they did so no one would believe them, hence they?ve stood with offering just shy of 20GB/sec of bandwidth.

Yah well I hope Nivida has some uber driver tricks b/c you can only do so much before raw bandwidth is need to push AA & Anso at high resulutions....
remember when 3dFX said 32bbp was not needed for gameing? Guess where those brilliant engineers went to work.... yah i think you can guess
