wow this whole time i thought it was saturday. though you guys were crazy.

i think the best counter for ATi is not more performance but lower price point. just like HD4000. its quite clear that is the ultimate goal of small die strategy. nvidia puts absolute performance first as it is good for their image. nv needs to get their power consumption higher to compete with ATi's dual gpu strategy. this makes a 250 watt single gpu comparable to a 300 watt dual gpu. its like nehalem EX of gpu's.
