Quote:Looking back, the video card race between NVIDIA and ATI has usually meant a
new chip once a year and a refresh once every six or so months. Usually the
refresh has been the same chip with some minor tweaks and increased clock
speeds when they’ve gotten better yields out of the design over time. Those of
you who follow the industry however might have noticed that since NVIDIA
released the first GeForce 6 cards in spring 2004 there haven’t been any
refresh-products coming out. Instead NVIDIA choose to release SLI-support on
their motherboards. It is easy thus to think that the new GeForce 7 chips are
nothing more than a refresh product. As the name suggests though this isn’t the
case. The GeForce 7 is a new chip with improvements beyond mere increased
clockspeed.
