Affecting minds slowly
The new Nvidia’s driver 180 definitely makes Geforce GTX 260
much more attractive than any time before as the card's performance was boosted with the new driver, and now it
can really fight Radeon HD 4870.
We’ve asked around and learned that despite the driver's Halo
effect on the market, it really didn’t affect current GTX 260 sales as much
as the company would like. It is moving slower than people would like it
to move but this is probably the reality of channel that is traditionally not
that fast with transitions.
Sales are definitely getting slightly better, but it takes
times to regain customer confidence. Whoever is buying GTX 260 and alike
performance products usually knows well what he / she is doing and they are
still in the process of evaluation. The bottom line is that this driver is
making a difference and therefore it should affect GTX 260 216 core sales.
