just remember that the memory bus width is not that major of a factor like it use to be. as memory advances with current GDDR5 being almost like a quad pumped speed. with 128bit width and GDDR5 in alot of cases for ATI/AMD that makes a monster card. even more so when they put GDDR5 with 256bit buss. just look carefully when you look at cards with 128bit buss, is it GDDR5 ram with it or DDR3/GDDR3 ram.
both memory width and memory speed play a role but it is also like looking at traffic in RL. you want to move more people on the road so do you increase the speed limit or expand the number of lanes. both do the same thing for moving people just which route do you think is going to be best for their gpu performance goals in its segment.
