Don't count on it ..he'd probably tell us to buy GTX 260 because of PhysX support. It's always a known fact that NV over-abuses the architecture to make high performance cards, that doesn't necessarily mean it is a *intelligent design*. G80 was a great design, it went down the hill since then, they made extremely limited progress while ATI was working hard to stay in competition. NV is definitely going out of options, the biggest proof of this is the Ageia PhysX deal - this deal will calm the market while they busy themselves designing a new architecture. It is NV spreading FUD claiming they are in the boundaries of technical limitations, first of all there is no real boundary, there is only intellectual boundary. ATI is capable of beating NV but their main goal is the mainstream market where profit really is.
