It sounds like you lack some basic logical reasoning abilities. There is plenty of information about how these firms design chips, and the resulting power specs...maybe you are in denial because nVidia has been selling in a box for the last year? I suggest you go read the tech specs of RV800 (can you find those on your own?) and then read about the JumboDie TM design scheme that nVidia thinks is going to work (and is producing record low yields). A basic understanding of chip physics will tell you that 5890 is definitely going to beat whatever nVidia comes out with in terms of performance/watt. With such crappy yields and ATIs headstart (and opportunity to die shrink and cut prices) they are going to be also losing in performance/dollar. At this point the only thing that nVidia could possibly win at is total XOPS, which considering the differing technologies may be better for WCG etc. at performance/card, but that is a relatively useless metric in any market that matters...
