A while ago, we've seen the introduction of NVIDIA's next generation flag ship card, the GeForce 7800GTX. Since then, they've been winning hearts of gamers and reviewers alike with their immediate availability and offering performance a level higher then the last generation. As a long time competitor, ATi definitely do not just sit around amid much fanfare generated on since June when the 7800GTX was unveiled.

Come 5th of October, ATi launched the X1000 family of products, an answer to NVIDIA's GeForce 7 line of products.
