Review: Nordic Hardware
_______________
New graphics cards are launched every new week, but then it usually third party manufacturers which release new cards based on the, at the moment, most popular circuits. With a few months apart we find the bigger launches when NVIDIA and ATI launches their new series of graphics cards and then there is a lot more interesting things to write about, obviously. NVIDIA G71 was nice update when the GeForce 7900 series was launched and the same applies to ATI's equivalent R580 and the X1900 series. But to be hones there wasn't much that separated the new graphics circuits from the old ones, sure there was a big boost in performance, but our taste have grown a bit too sophisticated to be completely satisfied by these launches. The occasions we're really longing for are the ones when NVIDIA and ATI decide to start over and launch a whole new architecture, which is just what NVIDIA has done with the launch of the G80 architecture.
