Yes. FS pointed this out in another thread yesterday, but neither of us thought to actually post a topic about it. D'oh! 
Cheers, Slipstreem. 
System specs:
"Phoenix" / "The '43' Special" - 1.8GHz Intel C2D E4300 overclocked to 2.83GHz with ACF7Pro HSF on Volt-modded ASRock 775Dual-VSTA mobo (modded BIOS rev 3.10A, VNB=1.65, Vagp=1.8), 1GB Vitesta DDR500 RAM (2.5,3,3,7,1T @ DDR472MHz), Jetway ATI X1950Pro 256MB GDDR3 PCIe graphics card with modded AC Accelero X2 cooler dynamically overclocked to 650MHz GPU & 1.5GHz RAM. Powered by Hiper Type-M 580W PSU. Guess who likes overclocking on a budget.

I admire their total lack of self-control in a way. I also think they've done the right thing if the benchmark figures coming in so far are anything to go by. They are fairly cutting-edge, so just watch these cards blossom as the drivers mature. If the latest ATI Catalyst driver doesn't cut the mustard, try the latest Omega driver. They're kind of in 'friendly' competition. 
Cheers, Slipstreem.

It's nice to see Nvidia on the back foot for once. Not good for the big dogs to get too confident. It's all swings and roundabouts though just as AMD will more that likely have its day again...

I think that ATI owners and ATI themselves have seen this coming for some time to be honest. ATI have always rendered a different 3D world to nVidia and haven't always captured the same sector of the market. To me, it's like comparing Hi-Fi to audiophile. I dare say that the difference doesn't matter to a lot of people, but I want my PC games and video playback to look better than a high-end gaming console so I go for ATI.
Cheers, Slipstreem.
PS I reserve the right to change the above view radically and without warning if the prices, benchmarks and real-world evidence from the new nVidia kit wipes the floor with ATI.
