Die Shrink 61: HD 4000 vs GTX 200 - When AMD Went for Ultimate Price/Performance (Patreon)

Nvidia launched their biggest graphics card ever at a correspondingly high price point…and then AMD launched their more efficient and similarly performing flagship at an insanely lower price weeks later...

2008-2009 saw a resurgence of RADEON that unlike recent launches…actually gained market share from Nvidia. Tom & Dan talk about this legendary era of PC Gaming, one that kicked off the “PC Gaming Renaissance.”
