Competition is good.

Better late than never I guess!

 

[wintermint]

Whatever happens... it means more competition and lower prices for us..

First! and its not likely that they will "Rain" on anything...go ATI...no wait...go AMD!

 

[jgv115]

Yes!!!!!! GTX480 to $20

NAO!

 

[Darkerson]

I seriously doubt either of those card are gonna rain on AMD's parade.
What are we gonna hear next? Nvidia renaming half their current 4XX series to 5xx so they can trick people into thinking they having something "new" to compete against AMD's new offerings? It wouldnt surprise me one bit, I mean seriously, how many times was the 8800 renamed before they finally made something truly new?

 

[mjello]

Quoted "How many times was the 8800 renamed?"

I lost count, then I stopped buying Nvidia.

If nVidia goes down, AMD/ATI cards will start at $1000.

8800 GTX series was so ahead of the competition back then so they didn't had to work had to earn their money, they became decadent like most companies who lack competetion just like intel did when amd overtook them. Look what happened to intel after - they kicked their R&D into overgear and came out with their best product upgrade in a long time. Bet nvidia will do the same.

The thing is that we customers should be really happy that there are some real competition, better hardware for less prices than thoose microupgrades for higher prices when a single company is dominant.

AMD is going to release a high performance card and Nvidia planning to reply to those cards with Entry Level Card !!! What a joke !!

 

[Darkerson]

Trust me, Im all about competition. It would mean a nice, cheap 5770 for me to Crossfire with the one I already have. Im just leery of the stunts Nvidia has pulled in the past, along with the whole defective GPU debacle. It will take a lot for me to consider them again when it comes time to upgrade my GPU's.

 

[kelfen]

so this is just a lowish end card of ther 4xx series for Nvidia and AMD has its next gen coming to put in a hook punch

 

[kelfen]

I wounder how much a difference in performance difference there will be with the AMD 6xxx and Nvidia 4xx

 

[aaron88_7]

Who cares about a low end 400 series card, wake me up when they are lowering the price of the 480s.

 

[jabbrun]

I hope that there will be an actual competition going on & not just false advertising...

 

[liquidsnake718]

WHY? wHEN THE 5850 AND 5870 ARE STILL SO SO SO GOOD.... WHAT A WASTE...

 

[liquidsnake718]

we need more X2 cards! CF cads, they should come out with a 5850x2 thats cheaper than a gtx480 instead and kill off Nvidia with this as some ppl can quad xfire!!!!!!!

 

[pangedit]

Who the heck cares about entry level GPUs anyway? :/

 

[one-shot]

Rain? Sounds more like a very, very light sprinkle. The rain so light you barely notice it until someone points it out kind of rain. AMD's umbrella isn't afraid.

 

[Guest]

Is this gonna be another 210,220,240? As far as I see the GTS 450 just barely beat GTS250. whats GT430 gonna be? half speed of GTS450 @ 75% of its price? >_>

 

[Mousemonkey]

how many times was the 8800 renamed before they finally made something truly new?

Twice, for those who can't count very high! :lol:

Im always looking for the best value & a few notches up from entry level is where it's always at. Ever since the go7950gtx in my Dell XPS M1710 fried I only look at AMD's range. If Nvidia lowered their GTX480 to $20 it might be worth the risk but it still wont fit in the laptop. I look forward to seeing AMD's 6000 series benchmark's on here in a few weeks time...

Why would you want a 480? well i guess if your motherboard doesn't have sli. because 2 460s in sli beat a 480 in every way but slightly more watt usage. some sites report its only a 15watt difference at 100% load. 480s in sli is just a huge waste of money. even if it dropped 100 dollars its still a waste. use that extra 500 for a good SSD that will help more then having 2 480s when your monitor cant display more then 60fps or 120fps if you have a 3d monitor.

 

[cinergy]

Why would AMD be afraid of some super low end last generation Fermi chip?

Sarcasm, you don`t get it.
