You can't underplay the fact that AMD was able to keep their cards at the same price and even higher than release for like 9 months. If you've been watching these 2 duke it out over the past 10 years I can tell you that pricepoint determines who wins marketshare. The midrange is where they make their cash not the battle over the high end. Vast majority of users love to talk up their companies high end cards but their pocketbooks let them settle elsewhere. So all in all I like seeing these high end cards cause its a look into the near future but in reality eh, who cares when you can get a very good experience with a $160 card.
