Ugh Why? AMD has absolutely lost the good battle, especially in the GPU department

What? AMD is behind in GPUs by about 0-10% depending on game, and only since early January (previously they had the lead since mid-year). Their chip is much cheaper to manufacture too so they're making more profit per GPU than Nvidia. And AMD will launch their 40nm high-end ahead of Nvidia by 3-6m, because Nvidia screwed up their 55nm and now 40nm GT200 shrinks.

CPUs, maybe. Console CPUs aren't high-end for a PC, but they need to be cheap and cool which is what AMD is very good at. Anything below $250 and AMD is the best option.

 

Engines have a much more difficult time working with AMD's GPUs, lots of glitch workarounds. Nvidia development is much smoother and faster. AMD taking hold of ATI was the worst thing that could have happened to the ATI brand name outside of going entirely bankrupt
