Just one year after the arrival of the GeForce 8800 GTX, it is clear that Nvidia posted a flawless domination on the high-end niche. AMD soon realized that they can not deal with the Radeon 2900 XT HD, which has only oppose as best they could to GeForce 8800 GTS. A less efficient vector architecture but also a very poorly performing antialiasing have sealed the claims AMD. Therefore, the competition was reduced to a bare minimum, Nvidia itself to launch an ultra high-end, so as to maximize a family of GPUs great demand.

The deal changes at the end of this year with the arrival of the GeForce 8800 8800, even if it means removing a large portion of the interest maps higher-end which is always sold very well . Why go out of his bag now a product cheaper while the full rate is still sells very well we hear you say? For various reasons.

The first is that a whole series of games and eagerly awaited lukewarm on the map graphics are being landed. Bioshock, Half Life 2 Episode 2, World in Conflict, Unreal Tournament 3, Gears of War and… Crysis. All of these games will lead to a wave of major upgrade to one of the players and require manufacturers of PCs to incorporate more powerful graphics cards in their machines for the players. A large volume into perspective and therefore can more easily deal with aggressive pricing.

The second reason is qu’AMD preparing a range of graphics cards which promises to show a very good price / quality ratio, the manufacturer no longer have a choice. With an architecture poorly adapted to fight on the high end, AMD must fight on the price / performance ratio. If Nvidia easily dominates the high-end graphics cards with highly profitable, and could continue to do so, the manufacturer did not want to leave as easily spinning a large share of the market “players” to his competitor and prefers be aggressive on price in order to consolidate its position before the attempt to “return” to AMD.

The GeForce 4 4200 2007?

This competition announced and the huge potential prompted by the wave of new games puts us in the ideal conditions for the launch of a graphics card to both high quality and affordable. These conditions which make viable the marketing of such a product are not met so often as recalled Jen Hsun Huang, President and CEO of Nvidia. Good games and graphics cards performance to less than € 300, the players are spoiled PC at the end of the year.
