Graphics Card Survey

Unreal Tournament 3 mods.

And I don't really know what you mean "fell for the marketing" -- I had the 8800GT anyway.

Ouch man, I won't lie. This is seriously one of the things I didn't want to hear this month.

Should've waited.

I find the following image funny and incredibly true:

And yet... performance wise... they compete really well o.O

Well, the 4800 series one is not entirely accurate, since the 4870 and 4890 compete with the GTX 260 Core 216 and GTX275, not the GeForce 9800 series (GTS250 and GTS240).

Either way, it looks like Nvidia's new GT300 series going to be a pretty major upgrade, starting with 512 shader processors.

HD5870 will have 2000 stream processors, 512-bit GDDR5 memory, and a core exceeding 1GHz; HD5000 vs. GTx300 will be an interesting showdown indeed.

The radeon 5000 series is suppose to come out first though, with a mid-summer release date while the GT300 series is going to somewhere in October. I hope ATi pulls something worth waiting another 2 months for, the thought of playing games on my X1300 PRO makes me cringe.
