ATI announced its 1000 series of cards today. Thankfully, they start at $79, and not the $500 that we've grown accustomed to (but not opened my wallet to). ExtremeTech is among the 1st to run them through the paces.
We kind of feel sorry for ATI. We love competition, and nothing is better for consumers than when Nvidia and ATI struggle to give us ever-greater 3D graphics performance with better features at lower prices. So when Nvidia launched the GeForce 7800 GTX back in June, with full card availability on day one, we were a little upset that it went totally unanswered by ATI. Last month, Nvidia expanded the 7-series line by offering the GeForce 7800 GT, a lower-cost alternative, and still nothing from its Canadian rivals.
