XGI wipes the floor with Nvidia.

IMO, the only compelling reason to stray from a known solid product w/ support would be if this chip was integrated along with a SiS chipset.

The scent of corporate payoff is almost overpowering in this article.

I wanna know the $ number =D

The Volari V3 stays at the bottom of all benchmarks, for those of you who wanna know how it perform.

In that benchmark, yes, but it was dated back in December. 7 months from then is plenty of time to work on drivers and get things rolling on the ball. The things I didn't like from the article is that they felt very half ass, and claiming the card can run Doom 3 fine without benches is a bit odd to me. I would have liked more benchmarks and better spec comparisons.

Still, it's nice to see a working XGI product. I'd really like it if they came out of nowhere with some decent new cards and became a face in the graphics world. Three companies instead of two would be very nice for competition. I don't think they'll make it though

I see the new 9550SE in the same price range can use the HDTV adapter so there is even less reason to consider a V3 even if HDTV output was forthcoming.
