AMD to Strike Nvidia 9500 With HD4600

[Ryun]

When are these cards supposed to come out?

Sept 10th is the day, we'll see if they are available next week either before or after that date. DRR2 in the HD4650 insures it will cost about $100. That is most likely a 256MM version and should be under $100. The HD4670 512MB DRR3 will go for around $120-125 and the top dog should be the HD4670 1GB DRR3 just about $150. People keep saying the HD4850 is cheap, I beg to different. Cheap for whom? Its a $170-190 card and yes many people think (including myself) that $200 for a graphics card is just too much, especially since I still roll with consoles for most of my gaming purposes.

Both cards will surrpass the HD3650 which isn't all that bad of a card, just not faster than the 8600GT. But ATI has responded with a card that's not only faster than the 8600GT, but 9400 and 9500GT and fairly close to 9600GT with no rebate making it an attractive option.

I will pick one of these up next week or whenever it becomes available
