If I can remember right, the Radeon HD's have larger memory options, up to 2 GiB (that may be FireGL, not sure), a wider memory bus and more bandwidth than the Nvidia, but it benchmarks a tad slower, though the benchmarks I've seen are those dodgy DirectX ones, not OpenGL.
C. P. U. Its not a big processor... Its a series of pipes!

Thats pretty impressive, how they can fit that much memory into GFX cards these days. I remember when they were at 64mb, i think it was... Yeah seen on some reviews that the Radeon HD outplays in some areas but also has some set backs.
Thanks again
