The old items get their price knocked down (usually) and get discontinued. For example, here is Intel's product roadmap: http://www.anandtech.com/show/3871/the-s...in-a-row/4
KajitiSouls Wrote:I suppose Nvidia vs. ATI comparison is a fallacy, but if it's Nvidia vs. Nvidia with similar specs, would you do a side-by-side comparison then?I wouldn't. Looking at a bunch of specs doesn't tell you anything at all about performance. At most, it could be used to compare cards of the same generation (i.e., you shouldn't compare specs of ATI's 4xxx and 5xxx series cards).
KajitiSouls Wrote:Other than connectors and monitor support, is there any reason to choose the ATI 4870 over the GTX 460?The ATI 4xxx series doesn't have Eyefinity, so I don't know what connector/monitor advantage it could have over the GTX 460.
