yea ATI were just to good at a lower price point lower power drain and they released sooner, thanks to focusing on efficiency and minimising die size. Nvida focused on the biggest most powerful die possible while pushing CUDA and tessellation above all else, and then the die on release was to hot, to expensive and power hungry to be competitive (without the brand loyalty and a performance advantage), they have improved with their midrange cards and this refresh looks mighty impressive tho. I think Nvida's plan is finally coming to fruition with this gen of cards, I just hope AMD can release something competitive or better to keep the prices down.
