one quartar is a very small time frame. I dont expect that the 4800 series has a hughe impact on the 3Q, but im sure we see some changes in 2009.
Technically, NV won't have a direct competitor until Q4, so the estimate should round out to 40% by then.

The point here is that the interest in ATI's cards has peaked for the first time in a VERY long time (since 2003 in fact). With AIBs losing NV exclusivity and NV having trouble with product line balancing due to the need for a return on its D10U architecture, the market is evening up between the two competitors.

All ATI now has to do is supply the demand, which AMD has been known to falter on from time to time.
