New Graphics Company, With Working Cards

Posted by timothy on from the clever-of-them-to-have-actual-cards dept.

To quote Toms: 'A new player dares enters the graphics card market that ATi and Nvidia have dominated for so long. XGI (eXtreme Graphics Innovation), based in Taiwan of course, comes at the market leaders with a line of cards for a whole lot less money. We look at XGI's product range, and offer results of a beta model from XGIs top model Volari Duo V8 Ultra.'"

    The board only uses half of the installed RAM as it shares it.

    So they can claim 256 MB of RAM, even though its effectively 128 MB of RAM...

    Yeah, so you've had 3 good cards and therefore no-one has problems.

    I like that logic!
