Nvidia Launches New Affordable GPU

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the bargain-basement-with-a-twist dept.

mikemuch writes "Today Nvidia unveiled a new low-cost, high-power graphics processor SKU. ExtremeTech's Jason Cross has done all the benchmarking, and concludes ' This makes for an impressive bargain and a huge step up from the generic GeForce 6800. The big question: How will this fare against ATI's similarly priced X1000 series card, the Radeon X1600 XT?'"

    Unless closed drivers bother you, nVidia is the only sane choice. Just pick up the cheapest one you can find.
