No, I'm not talking about the fighting going in the Middle East. Today ATi has announced another round of graphics cards to tempt gamers.
To me, this is fairly important; I'm a self-confessed game addict and I have i love / hate relationship with graphics producers. As I play games fairly regularly, being able to run the latest games tends to be more important than having all the eye-candy active. Although, having said that, it is nice to play games at a good resolution with all the graphics options turned on.
It often comes down to a single question: NVidia or ATi?
Depending on whether you want multiple GPU support will determine which of the above you select. I'm an NVidia man myself and the concept of SLi appears to be a good idea. However, if the game you are attempting to run does not have an SLi profile, it tends to perform worse than using a comparable Crossfire setup.
Who will win? Various pundits have already spent months agonising over this and vented their spleens in various publications about it. With any luck the better technology will win, though the Beta Max / VHS story is worth remembering at this point.
regards,
Alex.
