I guess it's customary for people to boost Nvidia and their fans' egos by comparing one of their cards to a weaker AMD card.

Whats wrong? Your trying to compare cards that have a $150 price difference ...

Wonder what happened to this price drop thingy. At least in Estonia it seems prices have climbed back up a bit although I would be lying if I would say that there was a significant price drop in the first place other than few Sapphire cards carried by Pixmania.

The price drop was called void by AMD with the stock frequency hike up to 1 GHz ?
