Not to mention the fan-stopping card-killing 196.75. Still, the GHz edition has yet to show its face. It'll be interesting to see how pricing changes in the coming months.Originally Posted by jtom320 
Hate to break it to you but Kepler drivers really aren't that great as is right now either. I don't even get the Nvidia/AMD drivers thing. Nvidia has just as awful a track record as AMD does on that front. How quickly have people forgotten that G80 was unusable on Vista for six months? Or that Nvidia drivers were responsible for a full 28% of all Vista crashes? Let's be real here. They both could be a lot better.
That said I imagine GK110 (if it's a gaming card) and HD8xxx will have both AMD and Nvidia fall back a little to their 'old' positions. I don't expect AMD to maintain the lead they have right now with the ghz edition but I do expect them to regain the price/perf advantage.
If Nvidia is done with large dies in GeForce cards however it's a whole new ballgame.
