NVIDIA has released high-performance high-margin GeForce 7800 GT and GTX graphics processors which offer advanced functionality and performance sufficient for majority of games. But there are people who would not like to pay $449 or $599 per graphics card and there is Holiday season coming, when all the users go on and spend their money. NVIDIA introduced its GeForce 6800 GS product which costs $249 and frequently manages to leave behind the GeForce 6800 GT in order to offer probably the best “bang for the buck” in 2005.
Quake 4


Although this game is based on the Doom 3 engine, it produces different numbers. Particularly, the ATI RADEON X800 XL runs it at a very good speed, despite ATI’s deficient support of the OpenGL API. This not-very-new graphics card is always a little ahead of the GeForce 6800 GS and GeForce 6800 GT which in their turn match each other’s performance. The results of the RADEON X1600 XT are a failure if compared with those of NVIDIA’s new product, which doesn’t suffer from the lack of TMUs.
