ATI launched its X1000 family proudly and introduced a whole range of new cards at the same time, even though some of them would be available for yet another month or so. During this time NVIDIA took the oppurtinity to launch new cards that were available, performed better and at a very attractive price; GeForce 6800 GS and 6600 DDR 2. To counter this ATi has dropped the prices of its X1300 and X1600 circuits, with over 17 % in some cases. The sales haven’t been abundant with these cards, but then instead the Radeon X800 GTO and Radeon 9550 has proven to be very popular among the customers instead.
