Not only my retailer but people at retail level I am in contact with worldwide. That goes for the EU, USA, Asia and Canada. Even the board partners who support both Nvidia and ATI back this up off the record.

The simple matter is that Nvidia seems to have better market penetration through a very aggressive sales / marketing team. I am not debating which card is "better" even though for its price, the HD 4830 wins hands down. It is just a problem with people's perception of a certain product that will have them holding back purchasing a less expensive yet just as capable alternative. We see this with everything from running shoes to GPUs to the whole Mac versus PC war. The fact that this same thing is happening between ATI and Nvidia should surprise no one.
