After the G80, AMD’s graphics group (formerly known as ATi) seemed to have no chance to catch up again with nVidia. Well, having learned from their mistakes, they just released a great midrange part – the HD 3800 series. This is a direct competition for the 8800GT cards, and with the latter having availability issues, AMD has a great chance to get back into the market.
The midrange situation is as good as never before, I don’t remember when cards around 220$ offered so much power compared to the high-end. Really a good time right now – thanks for remaining competitive, AMD! I can just hope the Phenoms will do the same for the CPU market.

Dann muss ich bei meiner nächsten Grafikkarte doch wieder ne ATI kaufen… Bisher dachte ich, es würde auf eine teure High-End-Karte rauslaufen, aber wenn du sagst, es soll Midrange-Karten von AMD geben, dann wird so eine es wahrscheinlich auch tun!
