Game Benchmarks: Resident Evil 5

Nothing new to see here, as Resident Evil 5 delivers the performance expectation we've come to expect with these graphics cards. Once again, the Radeon HD 4550 is managing to touch 30 FPS at 1280x1024, while the new GeForce 210 is struggling.

    Too late for nVidia. They should release these cards 1 year ago...

    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. :)

    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.

    hmmm i can see amd stomping this thing shortly with a DX11 part - kalliman is right, this is way too late in the market

    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.
