Yeah this seams to be the start of it. But then ATi did nothing to counter GF104 either. Not only didn't release a refresh, but also no price-drop to compete directly. It was surprising, ATi did nothing, nada.

As a result, we didn't get a direct competition, and we got the highest GPU-prices (in both camps) in the whole last year.

So I'm wondering if they will ever go back to good old days and counter each other at the right time. Why should they after a year with study high prices? It will be interesting to see if the trend will continue in this round too.
