Again Nvidia only has 1 type of graphics card for $500 US in only 1 interface. That's like 2% of the market.

If ATI released their cards 1 month before and Nvidia was in ATI's position now, would people say Nvidia is finished? I dont think so.

Until either company releases both AGP and PCIe new generations cards for $300 that are significantly (not 10%) faster than X800XL and 6800GT, $100 and below cards faster than 6200/6600 and x300/x700 series, nothing conclusive can be drawn about the situation.

I totally agree. I think all of this "doomed" talk is due to the perception of multiple issues with r520. But all of that will go away once it's released in a reasonable timeframe.

I hope so. But the situation ATi put themselves in is far more serious than NV with their FX days. By that i mean, ATi has alot of grounds to gain, dual GPU market, mid range market expecailly, high end included AND the chipset market, all laid down by aggressive Nvidia. Oh and also the IGP market soon enough.

What i am trying to say is, Nvidia has that advantage of countering almost every product ATi brings to the market, since ATi themselves is late to the party.
Time will tell though.

I can see that ATi have to get back some of the market share for the HJigh end and dual GPU market.

Mid range tho... You mean the 6600GT? right?
From what Anantech was saying the new ATi Chipset is amazing. So if there are no problems with the supply of them it should be selling well since ATi have said they are selling this to the enthusiast market which means the ppl who read these forums and various others.
