ATI, Nvidia Reveal New $250 Graphics Cards

Posted by timothy on from the short-and-sweet dept.

ThinSkin writes "As part of their 'Spring Refresh,' both AMD and Nvidia reveal new $250 graphics cards, the Radeon 4890 and GeForce GTX 275. ExtremeTech takes both cards and runs them through a gamut of gaming and synthetic benchmarks to decide which card triumphs over the other. Long story short, the GeForce takes the cake with impressive performance at its price, while the Radeon didn't show a high improvement over the cheaper Radeon 4870."

    $250.00. That's more than half of what I paid for my entire system new. The cost of a new system seems to be heavily based on the graphics/monitor. Used to be RAM and disk.

    I thought price fixing was illegal in the US. I'm curious as to how the two top competitors manage to release "new" products at the same time and for roughly the same price (within $50 of each other)...

    Ohhh wait, must be that "free" market at work again?

      Strangely enough McDonald's, Burger King, and Wendy's all sell their sandiwches for roughly the same price as well. Clearly it's the work of a burger cartel.
