| Summary | Wherever Nvidia treads, ATI must surely follow. Or is it the other way round? With their latest 3D chipset launches, Nvidia and AMD's PC graphics subsidiary have once again mirrored each other extremely closely |

| Cons | Anti-aliasing still performed in the shader units, Quad-card Crossfire support a bit of a gimmick |

| Summary | Finally, a midrange graphics card worth its silicon. ATI's new 256MB Radeon HD 3850 graphics card is the best-performing 3D card in its price class. For $179, it will let you play most current 3D games at reasonable resolutions and detail settings, ... |
| Pros | Fastest 3D card under $200 ; solid home-theater capabilities ; supports multiple card configurations with up to four cards in the same PC |
