The general public do not see AMD as inferior platform as it more a case of awareness & the same goes for the GPU at non enthusiast level.
So the only people who would care are enthusiasts that the high end NV card does not work & only the minority would want to pay the premium anyway & AMD would be quite capable of staggering support for NV cards if they felt the need to as not all are willing to drop everything to have the fastest or best as then everyone would of been using 5970s before now & many people buy what is compatable with what they already have which is exactly what NVs strategy is with PhysX & its 3D implementations regardless if there cards are superior or not, that's the point of lock-in.
Right.......
Whether it is a case of awareness does change the fact the general public likes intel more than AMD. If the public buys more Intel, even if AMD did perform, what matters most? The dollars spent of course.
