lemonade4 This is a nice article that points out nVidia's step into the development of 40nm chips for the market even though they didn't really cause any changes in the sub-$100 video card market. They just seemed to make it even more crowded. I can't wait for the GT300 reviews though. :)Reply -
Proximon They have a lot of loyal folks looking to save money these days, so they'll move some 220's. So fans will appreciate the cards.Reply -
apache_lives hmmm i can see amd stomping this thing shortly with a DX11 part - kalliman is right, this is way too late in the marketReply
as for the gt300 - also bad news if the info i have heard is correct - 6 months away is not good for nvidia -

They are nothing more then media cards meant for random dell's/gateway random desktops for people who don't really know what's in their computers.Reply -
