GeForce 7800 GTX Performance with Athlon 64 : Article

Quote: Whenever a next-generation GPU such as NVIDIA’s GeForce 7800 GTX is launched, the buzz typically revolves around the card’s new features, and of course its performance. However, there’s also a less talked about concern that the new graphics card is in some ways, too powerful. What! It’s too fast? How does this happen? On the software side, even the latest games often lag behind the newest hardware by 6-12 months. This is because hardware cycles are refreshed so quickly today that game developers can’t keep up. Whereas ATI and NVIDIA often replace their latest products every six months, a game can take (at best) 1-2 years to develop, if not longer. By the time a game is developed from start to finish, the 3D graphics landscape may have advanced by a generation or two.
