I prefer tech-report's analysis 🙂

At least this guy admits he's an nVidia fan-boy!

Of course, the GeForce FX may be pretty darned fast when it arrives. The benchmarks will tell that story. Also, of course, ATI may have a faster variant of the Radeon 9700 on store shelves before the GFFX arrives. But now that we've had a real whiff of the GeForce FX vapors, the reality is clear: this concoction isn't potent enough to freeze the market for four to six months. If you want a next-gen graphics card now, you might as well go pick up a Radeon 9500 or 9700 and start enjoying it right away.

This,

I'm a techno-geek and even though it pains me, I'm going to hold-out for the FX. Why? Because the thing looks pretty darn impressive on paper, that's why, and at prices around the $400 mark, I don't want to gamble that the investment I make is going to be the wrong one. Nvidia has a solid track-record, one that converted me from an ATI fanboy to an Nvidia fanboy, and I'm not about to admit I made a mistake by betting on Nvidia until I see all the cards actually on the table so I can make my own comparison. I'm not going to make a move now because I don't really know if anybody is bluffing, so I'll just "call" and wait for the rest of the hand to be played out.
