The GTX 280, on average, the fastest graphics card, you can now buy one, but also seriously hefty price tag, which most of us simply do not consider resorting to pay. This fact was driven home with all the subtlety of sledgehammer by ATI, a week or so later, when they released their own brand new card, in the form of HD 4870 and proved to be great, that performance does not cost the earth.
Is this the end, nVidia may have a hard time over the next few months, as the vast majority of people considered limited because of the additional 40 per cent pay only for the (average) 10 percent more performance. But this is not the end, because nVidia also just released a GTX 260, which uses the same chip GT200 GTX 280, but has a few bits of it off, so it is somewhat slower, but most importantly it costs less. So let’s see how it stacks.[Trustedreviews]
