Looks like ATI will finally be able to get back up on its feet from the AMD takeover and the R500 fiasco (where it lost both the midrange and highend to Nvidia all in one swoop).

2 Years ago, if you told someone that ATI or Nvidia would be coming out a 480-shader card with 1GB of GDDR5/4 for $299, they'd laugh their heads off, give you the $300, and recommend you seek therapy.

Gone are the days of $1000 super rare uber-vid cards
