Wow... this makes me sick. It just shows how much they jack up the price from the cost!!

I mean sure they had the leading edge card on the market for some time before ATI could step up to it, but still...

It is such a back and forth contest. ATI had the best card back in the 9800 pro days but now NVIDIA is back in front. I think this one area where we really see the positives of the competition as it seems each generation of cards is really a step up from the last and each maker is working hard to top the other which results in better products for us. I would like them to price them more reasonably but I guess you cannot have everything.
