Geforce 9500GT is selling
quite well, and upcoming renaming for OEMs will probably help Nvidia to sell
even more of these cheap cards.
Despite the fact that Radeon
HD 4350 and 4550 are usually faster than Nvidia Geforce 9500, Nvidia is still
selling much better. Therefore, ATI has decided to drop the prices of its RV710
based products.
ATI’s tactic is to go very
aggressive with the pricing and gain some market share in entry level. When it
comes to performance and high-end market, ATI is selling well, but ATI wants to
make some bigger volume sales with this particular market. The price cuts and
some products with more memory are expected shortly as Nvidia doesn’t really
have any new chips, to replace the 9500GT, at least not before Q2 2008.
