Each ASIC can do a max of 1 Gb in each direction. If all ports on a group of 8 were to upload and download, their combined throughput would be 1 Gb upload and 1 Gb download. If all ports on the card were to upload and download at the same time, the combined throughput would be 6 Gb upload and 6 Gb download (1 Gb per group with 6 groups).
