Evidently we are only talking about high end hard ware, because other wise we would have to compare the x1600 vs the 7600. Another easy pick. Hopefully ATI fixes this soon.
This may always happen when refreshes come out, but this was a long gap, and nicely contradicted lopris assertion which is wrong. The x1800xt vs 7800 is a much more interesting battle, and I would have to say ATI retook the crown then.

No, thats because the X1800's were late. They were never supposed to go against each other. But since it was, they did. There was also a gap between when the X1900XTX's and the 7900GTX were available. I guess that was "laughable" too? Since the 7800GTX gets stomped by the X1900's.
