3D Card of Computer

InnoVISION Multimedia Limited is a well known PC hardware developer and manufacturer from Hong Kong, established back in 1998, while their manufacturing operations started earlier, in Shenzen, China(1990). When talking about video cards(and sometimes, mainboards too), their Inno3D brand is well known, and includes a variety of 3D cards, but all current models bearing this name are using NVIDIA chipsets. From now on, things are going to change, since a new brand belonging to InnoVISION is born, its name being Force3D...

Practically, there are no big things to say about this move. Just as PcPartner uses two brands, Zotac for NVIDIA-based cards, and Sapphire for those using ATI GPUs, InnoVISION is going to have Inno3D for video cards using NVIDIA chips, and Force3D for those using ATI GPUs.

I don't know what others think, but for me, one thing seems certain - ATI is going up, and this will surely help AMD too. For now, I only have two questions that need to be answered in the coming months...

First, since Inno3D was a brand also used for a few motherboards that are using NVIDIA chipsets, should we expect Force3D mainboards with AMD/ATI chipsets, or they will stop at video cards only?

At last, no matter how good it feels for ATI fans to get an extra alternative available on the market, the big battle between ATI and NVIDIA should start in March, or a bit later, as soon as NVIDIA's 9xxx series is launched, especially the long-awaited 9800 GX2, the card expected to be the "3870X2 killer"...
