406 Not Acceptable

The ATi Radeon HD 2600xt graphics card has taken quite some stick from the hardware sites when being reviewed by them. What is quite shocking is that there has been no ‘true midrange’ graphics card released by either nVidia or ATi. There has been no card that packs the punch that, for example, the GeForce 6600GT did in its day. A card that came in at around the £100/$200 price point and gave gamers great performance for their cash.

Tech Power Up! are reporting some interesting rumours for the specifications for nVidia’s next graphics card — the G92, or what would be more commonly known as the Geforce 9800GTX.

Shock, horror, an update!

DailyTech, have revealed performance figures for the new ATi graphics card, the HD 2900 XT. It seems ATi like to delay their cards as much as I do my updates. Either that, or they have decided releasing their cards in between nVidia’s to better business practice. This avoids a direct confrontation between two new cards, and gives each company a spell with the top card for enthusiasts.

ASUS have unveiled a solution which allows Laptops to attach an external graphics card, to improve gaming performance. We all know that, unless you opt for a pricey ‘gaming laptop’, graphics performance has been the bane of notebooks.
