| So whats up with the fastest graphics
processing unit in the world thing? Nvidia and Ati Radeon seems
to be the only manufacturer of the graphics card processors with
many vendors. Each time a new graphics card comes out it is advertised
to be the fastest in the world. ATI Radeon™ HD 5970 is the
lastest graphics card from Ati and they are advertising it to be
the most powerfull graphics card in the world. And yes it is, no
doubt, but after few months it is going to be long forgotton or
the best graphics card for those who are low at the budget. With
the new release of a product the cost of that product is always
high and almost not affordable for many customers. With more new
release in the series and new graphics card with new features the
old products cost starts decreasing and become widely available.
Good thing would be to wait for the price to drop, but some of the
graphics card dont get cheap with the time. Nvidia GeForce 7800
Series was once the best and the most powerfull graphics card and
was the most expensive. But, with the development of the graphics
card and new 8800 and 9800 series they are widely available at a
low cost. The price drop for 9800 series in India was over a period
of one year and the cost became more than half of the cost which
was then when it was new and the latest in the market. These prices
were taken into account from the most busy computer hardware market
in India.
Also, most of the times it may also depend on the vendor or the
provider of the graphics card. XFX series are always expensive being
on the top for gaming, but you would certainly get the main basic
features of the graphics card from any other provider. |
