AMD has shaken things up lately in the world of video cards with the launching of its next generation GPU, the ATI Radeon HD 5800 series. These next gen video cards support the latest DirectX 11 API and expand upon the previous generation’s architecture by upping the ante in gaming performance. Making no excuses that this generation was geared to play games well, AMD has delivered the best performance we have seen yet in a video card series.On the flip side of this, many hardware enthusiasts are asking, where is NVIDIA? The fact is that NVIDIA has no products to immediately answer AMD’s 5800 series and it is our understanding that it will be late February at the earliest before we actually see a next-gen GPU show up from NVIDIA in the retail channel.
