Unless you don’t believe what the folks over at Anandtech have to say (and they know their stuff), their new video card buyer’s guide for this North-Hemispherean spring will be quite useful. Especially since it’s got recommendations for a variety of price points:
| Price | Product |
|---|---|
| $75 | ATI Radeon HD 4670 NVIDIA GeForce 9600 GT |
| $100 | Wait for a month! |
| $150 | ATI Radeon HD 4850 |
| $165 | ATI Radeon HD 4870 |
| $180 | An ATI Radeon HD 4870 1GB NVIDIA GTX 260 Core 216 |
| $180 – $280 | Errr… |
| $280 – $400+ | ATI Radeon HD 4850 X2 2GB |
Hmmm… looks like ATI’s winning the current round of the never-ending battle between the maker and its arch-rival NVIDIA. According to Anandtech lately, that’s a value-for-money matter, and not performance.
