It’s only been three months since ATI launched the X1800 line of cards, but ATI is already launching their refresher parts for the high-end line. This represents one of the shortest-lived product lines for ATI and the entire 3D graphics industry in general. In recent memory only the failed GeForce 5800 series was shorter, though that is arguable as that product never really saw retail availability. The X1800 is a solid product that unfortunately ran into one too many delays which shortened its life considerably. It offered good performance combined with a slew of new technologies that finally brought ATI level with, or better than Nvidia
