NVIDIA was caught somewhat off-guard last year when ATI came up with a rather impressive line of graphics processors that not only were fast but were also priced very competitively.

NVIDIA was then forced to heavily slash the pricing of their debuting GeForce GTX products at the time. But it didn’t stop there, throughout the rest of year the name of the game was undercutting each other’s prices, a game that I must add was very beneficial to consumers.

And that’s how last year ended, NVIDIA used their older GeForce 9 series to compete at the mainstream level, leaving the newer GTX technology for high performance graphics. Meanwhile, ATI launched a number of interesting products that belonged to their Radeon 4800 line. That included the Radeon HD 4870 X2, a dual GPU graphics card that snatched the performance crown from NVIDIA’s hands, though ATI didn’t ask peanuts for this board at $550+ a piece.
