GeForce 8800 GT cheaper than a Radeon HD 3870
However, one major advantage of a Radeon HD 3870, in addition to the technological superiority in the form of support DirectX 10.1, was to be a very attractive price relative to the competition. For if we take into account the performance and problems with the drivers, ATI wypadała slightly worse. However, there was that the 8800 GT you can buy cheaper than HD 3870 – at the truth for the time being applicable to Taiwan, but it is not excluded that this trend will expand to other parts of the world. ATI will probably be forced to further cut prices of their papers, which naturally will bring additional benefits only to users who will not have to pay tons of money to play themselves as fluent in the latest games with a high level of detail.
Sure you are interested in money? Here’s one – 8800GT was sold in Taiwan for 177.50 Euro, while the HD 3870 it cost 179.50. Like a minor difference, but in this case, the trend (faster falling price of NVIDIA solutions) is more important than the current price.
Finally, it remains a wish that in 2008 mainstream graphics cards, both from NVIDIA, as well as from ATI, were not only attractive price, but also very efficient.
