As Advanced Micro Devices announced the limited availability of the ATI Radeon HD 2900 Pro graphics processing units that are offering comparable levels of gaming performance with the 2900 XT model while keeping the price tag more affordable, a number of manufacturing companies that are active in the graphics cards market segment started preparations for a new generation of products based on the new GPU.
