| 866676 | 2010-03-22 05:07:00 | Funny that, my first video card was also a Trident. Trident Cyberblade 3D integrated into the VIA PLE133 chipset :D (not sure if that's its real name) |

| 866677 | 2010-03-22 06:00:00 | I guess so, but have been involved with graphic accelerators for a long time...I was a voodoo fan before the nV destroyed them...my 1st card was a 512KB trident ISA graphic card. I am happy to admit ATi have the best bang for buck and fastest card at the moment, however they have always played catch-up IMO.. The reason I think the new cards are going to be inferior is fairly simple: A GTX480 is aimed at beating HD5870. It does this, but only by about 10% on average. Or so early indications say. You can get a 5870 on CL for $599. A GTX480 is $1099. You can buy a 5890 for $1399. I think the way ATI and Nvidia have worked historically has changed. ATI have a great manufacturing process that means more performance, less wattage(and heat), and cheaper to make. They've also been very clever at how they aim to different market segments. I don't really care who's best, so long as we get prices lowering as a result of the competition. But I'll be surprised if Friday's launch does anything to shake the market particularly. |

There are also those who believe that ati 5xxx cards are "limited: to the 10.2 catalyst and the update to 10.3 will bring them to their full potential. We may see the 5870 nearly or beating the 480 if this theory of ati fanboys is correct |

| 866684 | 2010-03-22 19:20:00 | The 470/480 were prob supposed to have more cores, may explain some lack luster early benches and confusion around expected performance. www.digitimes.com Personally I couldn't care a less who comes out on top, but have to say Nvidia's pricing is looking a little dodgy atm. |
