    On the higher end of things, ATi has a new GPU coming down the pipes in the form of a more value-oriented X800-based chip. Check them out at:

    On the opposite side of the spectrum, nVidia has launched a new version of the GeForce 6200...adding 'Turbo Cache' to it. If you want to know what the hell Turbo Cache means check the following articles:

    Hardware Analysis also has an article on the TurboCache. To be honest I was thinking what the hell have they done there when I read that is uses the system memory for rendering and that the 6200TC only had 16mb of GDDR3. But with the TCM and others it seems to be an easy way to make a cheapo card perform well.
