Showdown ATI
Make love, not war. Don’t expect to hear this motto from Nvidia anytime soon. Everyone seems to be in a hissy-fit over ATI’s R350 and the street date of March, which supposedly will be before the GeForceFX. Our source at the top says the R350 will be 10 percent faster and hit the streets before Nvidia even gets their packaging finished. So is the future of Nvidia doomed to follow in 3dfx’s footsteps? Perhaps, but they have a secret weapon: the NV35 coming out in November. Guess what’s been keeping the folks at ATI up all night.
