The folks at AMD have been unpleasantly surprised by the release of Nvidia GeForce GTX 460 in July, and who could blame them? While Nvidia fight vigorously to release its new hardware-based Fermi late last year and in 2010, AMD harvested whole segments of the market share with its 5000 series of video cards, innovative and looked like he could crush rival forever. The GTX 460, however, has changed all that by kicking Nvidia in desperate need of adrenalin in a very important sub - $ 200 price range and increase the excitement around AMD's own offerings next generation. We no longer have to wonder if AMD has risen to the challenge, because the 6000 series is here, with one of his models inaugural Radeon HD 6850 at a price of $ 179 (list), and the response is: Uh, maybe.
Sorry we can not be more specific than that right now there are many variables in play here, very few of them related to the actual performance of the cards themselves. The most important thing is that AMD and Nvidia have led a fierce price war this week-PR, alternately falling prices and comment on (you can think of a euphemism) on each of the other decisions. But once all the dust deposits, the 768 GTX 460, the card we had so admired at $ 199, had landed at $ 169 (list), and a number of models are available on Newegg.com (now in any case) for even less. Because the cards are so close in many aspects of their performance, this price difference, it is almost impossible to say what is absolutely best in all areas.
