QFT.

Seriously, that's the one thing people don't get. AMD haven't really been trying to compete with NVidia's top bin for awhile now. Why do people keep expecting them to have the fastest performing single gpu out there? The ATi glory days of the x1950xtx and prior are done and over with, AMD have found it to be a better tactic to aim a bit lower with cheaper to produce parts, plain and simple.
