i got this chart in mail today, so really don’t know the source. Found it intresting enough to share

 AMD just announced the immediate availability of their ATI Radeon HD 3800 series of GPUs. Four days earlier than predicted. According to AMD, these are the world’s first to support DirectX 10.1, 55nm process technology, and tri and quad multi-GPU support with ATI CrossFireX. Out today are the $179 Radeon HD 3850 with 256MB of GDDR3 memory and $219 Radeon HD 3870 with 512MB of GDDR4

What do we want from our graphic card ???
i guess it has a simple answer : power and more power

With all the official deriver releases comapnies keep a safety limit ( what it really means is somewhat make ur GFX card underperform, not utilizing to its full potential) to unlock the full potential NGO has released tweaked up drivers

For Nvidia
For ATI
