How far we have come. In the 8 years I’ve been running this site 3D-acceleration has evolved a lot and it is easy to get a bit jaded when you see a new generation of cards. This time it is a bit more interesting since ATI are introducing their first family of SM3.0 supporting chips as well trying to retake the performance crown from NVIDIA.

I’ve spent 2 days at Ibiza Spain partying listening to ATI presentation and, much more important, testing actual X1000 products and now it is time to give you an idea on what you can expect from ATI’s new line of products coming this autumn.
