That's exactly what I was thinking, though we've been surprised enough times in this industry. It's entirely possible for GT300 to be like 2.5 x faster seeing how it's a new architecture and all. I hope not though, nvidia really needs a good kick in the balls. Being dominated by ATI for a while would be good for their innovation.

Well, they were. From June to January AMD had the best value at almost all price points. You know what happened? AMD and Nvidia's market share stayed the same at 30% and 20% respectively. Because of ignorant consumers who don't check the PC specs before they buy, and Nvidia's superior marketing.

 

are you referring to this?

yeah it's a shame. It can only be fixed if AMD really dominates a gen like nvidia did with G80. Unfortunately such a gen is rare.

Yes. Nvidia's been making a lot of engineering mistakes recently (overheating G80/G92s; 55nm and 40nm GT200 shrinks being delayed massively; being forced to do an X2 part they probably lose money on) so I hope ATI can win the next gen outright.
