ATI is like that Japanese soldier stuck on an island that didn't hear
WWII was over.

I'm sure there are a few stragglers, but all my gaming friends and I
have recently upgraded to NVidia cards, mostly 8800GT's. ATI's problem
is that there is still nothing out other than Crysis that challenges
this card. Think any of us are going to be looking to upgrade in the
Summer to something faster, when what we've already had for 7 months
is powerful enough for everything on the market and now available and
bargain priced?

Hell no.

Don't call me an NVidia fanboy either, its the first non-ATI card I've
had since the GeForce 2ti.
