Microsoft Vista To Boost 256mb Graphics Card Sales
Microsoft Beta testers have recently confirmed that Windows Vista works best with 256MB video cards and Digitimes is reporting that the video card makers should see increased sales after the launch. With Microsoft Vista being launched late in 2006 and with new graphics technology (DirectX 10 and High Dynamic Range rendering) coming down the pipes we feel the upgrade is worth it with no matter what.
Windows Vista, Microsoft?s next generation OS, is expected to help graphics card makers see increased profits from rising high-end card demand, according to graphics card makers in Taiwan. As the Vista OS requires higher standard graphics cards, demand for high-end product lines are expected to heat up, indicated the makers. Systems featuring the Vista OS will need graphics processor units (GPUs) that supports 256MB of memory, said the makers, adding that the adoption of Microsoft?s upcoming OS will help the current high-end line migrate into the mainstream market within a shorter time.
