which is why I hate the whole business surrounding graphics cards. |
Id like to see nvidia and ati only bring out 1 "family" of cards per year, it gets a bit ridiculous after a while having one card then 2 months later something fasters out for about the same price. Just no longevity in cards these days at all. annoy: |
I also don't like all the competition because I think it probably makes the prices higher. The cards are so expensive when they first come out, but then drop immediately when newer cards come out. If it weren't so competitive, it probably wouldn't cost as much for new cards. |
Nope, if graphics cards were based around one company then that company could charge whatever they liked for them since there would be no alternative, even innovation in features would get stale, they'd just throw in a new feature every couple of years instead of how it is now with new features appearing with every generation. The way things are with 2 companies now its more competative adding in new features and developing faster hardware.
If ati or nvidia goes ever goes under pc gaming is pretty much fucked because of the above pricing scenario.
