Ati needs driver for gating frames up, but Nvidia just need to contact( pay) some game developers to make the optimised games for them in the first place.
ATI fans gains software support later for them later , Nvidia fans get immediately fps when they buy the game.(after bye-bye support from Nvidia)

Sorry to be the pessimist but I would like to see a reviewer verify those huge performance gains.

What a surprise, AGP HD2400/HD2600 support was added to 8.1, and removed from 8.2, hasn't returned for 8.3...

DX10 must be quite the animal if ATI is still pulling 10% + improvements in everything and more in others.....

very impressive, I like my 8800 GT but damn if I haven't loved ATI's much longer lived driver support...... to bad it takes so long to really get the product up to speed.

I still want to get a 780 chipset that thing is just damned interesting.
