Graphics cards makers benefit from multiply sources of GPUs and VPUs for their products due to competition between chip developers. As we witness nowadays, a number of NVIDIA partners adopted ATI RADEON processors earlier this year; now companies, who have been building graphics cards powered by ATI’s processors exclusively, disclose plans to bring into play NVIDIA GeForce FX GPUs as well.
