Of corse NVIDIA should have lower yields than AMD (because they have a lot less complex chip) but then to go and say 40% i think is way to low they wouldnt even make it. (Think how much higher 9800GTX+ clocks and then you could have done a 9800GX2+ if you didnt have anything else or if this gen was crap). AFAIK that GT200 calculates 3D is a side efect, it was meant for GPGPU, if you look it that way it makes a lot more sense.
Face it, GT200 is a flop when compared to RV770.

Why comparing their yields? Even if AMD had 80 % defect-rate and Nvidia had "only" 60 %, that wouldn't mean that Nvidia's yields are anywhere near good. They just plain suck.

AMD did great job with RV770(especially compared to GT200), and you will thank them for lower prices from Nvidia, now it is Nvidia's turn to do the same.
