That's funny. Now you do of course realize, that the RV770 and upcoming RV870 are still using the R600 (HD2000) architecture?
3000 series actually competed very well at a price perf... hd2000 was crap I give you that..

and I agree about the next series although ati won.. essentially by beating them price/perf wise

and it may be essentially based on that achitecture but they have changed it and added things, all nvidia has done has a shrunk + renaming which is lame.
