ATI Radeon HD 4000 Series discussion

1: Intel made the worst GPU of all time.
2: X1800 was late to market so that's at least 2 late launches.

still the x1800 was a decent card at launch, it pushed nv to the "HAHA YOU'LL NEVER GET US 7800GTX512" not available in any store

ati had the upper hand from 8500-x1900 (nv GF3-GF7 series), AMD put a stop to this, but things are looking good that they come back on top (they got back in the game with the 3870s)

to point 1: we talk about dedicated graphics cards, and this title belongs to the rage fury maxx , but in this times we had no shaders


hd4870 looks promising, it may not beat the gt-200, but this time ati is earlier to the market and i believe that the gap between amd and nv is going to get smaller.
