i dont get it why is it that ati Cards are always cheaper even if they're more powerful? whats the catch?
i personally have bad experience with ati cards, every time i buy them they dont last much before they over run and they dont give same gaming experience as nvidia. last time i bought 9600 pro it was decent but then i went to nvidia 7600Gs and i bought it for almost same price but was better and remained cooler.
now for an example:
XFX GeForce 8800GTX
* 768MB 384-bit, GDDR3
* PCI Express x16
* HDCP Ready SLI Supported
$539.99
DIAMOND 2900XT1GPE Radeon HD 2900XT
* 1GB 512-bit, GDDR4
* PCI Express x16
* HDCP Ready CrossFire
Price: $489.99
now those difference's are clear and still nvidia is 50$ more expensive, why?
now i know you may say performance may be different but c'mon those extra numbers should make difference.
1Gb GDDR4 against 768 GDDR3
384Bit against 512bit.
