Too late Nvidia. After months and months of waiting I finally went with ATI today.

So you waited 6 months for Fermi to be released, and then you bought ATI hours before the actual release. Clever.

I don't see an issue with waiting to see what both sides have to offer before making your decision, it seems to make a decent amount of sense really. I guess the power hungry, hot and overpriced Nvidia offer wasn't what he was hoping for.

The fact is he can't have really known for sure what any of the performance/pricing figures are going to be because of the NDA. He could have had a guess at it but then what is the point of waiting 6 months until a few hours before he knew for sure - Why not wait another 24hrs? It just seems a bit mad to me to make a decision you've been waiting 6 months to make based on speculation. Perhaps he was never planning to buy one in the first place???

Ashley McBroom: The place is rounding out...everyone screams "CRANK THAT S#!T UP!"

I just can't help but feel that it's all rather tacky and horribly American. It's a graphics card *sigh*.
