I'll believe it when I see it!
Also, I've been reading that nVidia will NOT be shipping before next year ... :P so, that's at least three months + SOONER that I will have been enjoying my Radeon 9700 Pro until nVidia's card is available...
So, guess what: since I can enjoy MUCH better performance than any nVidia card RIGHT NOW, that justifies it for me! Even if the nVidia is a little faster, they're behind the curve, and there ain't no denyin' that!
Lastly, if it's really THAT much better, I'll put the Radeon in my Second system and buy the nVidia for my primary card! But, they have to produce yet - let's see.
The proof is ... yup, you got it ... IN DA PUDDIN' !!!
