Year 2003 Summary It was the time of the first NVIDIA lag related to the volume release of long-anticipated GeForce FX 5800 GPU announced as far back as late in 2002. Yes, real cards appeared only in March-April. ATI, in its turn, used the effort of the Summer 2002 to further boost sales and R300-based products (RADEON 9500, RADEON 9700) popularity. Right by the end of 2002 the shelves were hit by some cheaper DX9 solutions based on the software-pared R300.
