Appule... I don't even know if you still post here, but I've got to say, you're a pretty funny troll.

The first really solid swing in the war between ATI and NV happened when the mediocre FX series of cards got annihilated by the performance of the Radeon 9xxx cards. Not until the G80 did NV manage a similar lead against ATI.

Heh, now we're seeing ATI beating NV by pricing their cards where NV can't touch at the moment.

Yeah, I still post here. I may have been incorrect with that statement.

Also, I agree with you about NV and ATI, nVidia IMO is beating ATI pretty bad when it comes to performance, but NV is getting there asses kicked when it comes to pricing. ATI's cards are great, but seem terribly inefficient compared to the GeForce's. Is ATI still using the same (but modified) architecture as the 2900?
